There’s been a lot of talk of free trade in
the news lately. You might recall that
one of the planks in Donald Trump’s election was to re-visit NAFTA to ensure
that Americans were being treated fairly when it came to cross border
commerce. And it seems that’s one
promise he’s set to deliver on.
Last week the President blasted the Canadian
dairy Industry and this week he imposed duties on Canadian lumber that he feels
is unfairly subsidized. United States
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross stated
“This is not our idea of a properly functioning free trade
agreement.” Ross went on to sum things
up by stating “It has been a bad week for U.S.-Canada trade relations.” You think?
But in most cases of trade, someone benefits
more than someone else. And the greatest
example of that is the example of grace.
Grace is a great deal for us. For us it means forgiveness and salvation and
eventually a life forever with God. But
for God, grace cost Him His Son, for Jesus’ grace cost Him His life.
If it is really grace and not just a trade
agreement, then the one who gives grace never counts the cost and those of us
who receive grace should never stop counting the cost.
Have
a great week and remember: To see what is really possible, you will have to attempt
the impossible.
