Welcome Home. by oluade11: 6:26am On Oct 17, 2021
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 Jesus.

You hardly have time for
me.

I love you and
want you to give your life to me.

I died for you so you may live.

I am always with you.

I want you to make peace with your maker.

I stand at the door of your heart knocking and waiting.

Please, let me in.

I want you to repent of your old lifestyle, confess your sin, ask for mercy, ask to be washed in the blood, invite me into your heart and asked that your name be written in the book of Life.

Welcome home.

I need you to spend
30mins of your time
with Me today.

Don't pray.

Just praise.
