Subject: Father , I wanted a Car not a Bible....


 

 
FATHER, I WANTED A CAR, NOT A BIBLE
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he
had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom,
and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his
father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his
graduation, his father called him into his private study, told him how proud
he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him. He handed him a
beautifully wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and
found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with his name embossed in gold.

Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said,"With all your money you
give me a Bible?" He stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible behind.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had
a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old.
He thought perhaps he should go to him.He had not seen him since that
graduation day.

But before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him
his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to
him. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sadness and regret filled his heart.
He began to search through his father's important documents
and saw the Bible, new,just as he had left it years ago.
With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. 

 
His father had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11,
 "And if ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly
Father which is in Heaven, give to those who ask Him?"

As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible.It had
a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.
On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words... PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?
 If this touched your heart, please pass it on!!


 

 
My name is God. You hardly have time for me. I love you and always bless you.  I am
always with you.   I need you to spend 30 mins of your time with Me today.
 Don't pray. Just praise. Today I want this message across the world before
midnight. Will you help ?  Please do not ignore it and I'll help you with
 something that you are in need of.  Just dare Me!
