Nothing Better

"I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil-this is the gift of God"- Ecclesiastes 3:12 (NIV).

The product of a person's "toil" is fruit. Each person is recognizable by the fruit they produce (Luke 6:43). God's children are identified by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). The gift is that you gain satisfaction from producing such fruit, from your toil of doing good, and then you may eat and drink. "Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price" (Isaiah 55:1). Without price; free; a gift of God.  There is nothing better!
