the world.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s 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.

His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat Disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name embossed in gold.

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

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, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.

Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, 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 dealer’s 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 ? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to others. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for…

If your gift is not packed the way you want it, it’s because it is better packed that way. Always appreciate little things, they usually lead you to attachments.

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation.
Satan went to visit Jesus in the Garden of Eden,
and Satan came all happy and boasting. (Lk 4: 1-12; Job 1: 6-12)

“Yes Lord, now I have everybody captive,
well nearly everybody down there.
I set put traps, I used the baits of temptation,
I know well what each one of them can’t resist.
I nearly caught them all!” (I Pet 5: 8-9; Eph 6: 10-17)

“What are you going to do with them?” Jesus asked.
and He was praying to God the Father.

Satan answered “Oh, I am going to have some fun with them!”

I’ll make them divorce after they have married
so the foundation of humanity will never be established
“the family” (Mt 19: 4-6; Mal 2: 16)

I will make them hate each other and abuse each other,
make them fall into alcohol and drugs without control. (Rom 13: 12-14)

I will teach them to make weapons and bombs,
so they kill each other

“I am really going to have fun!”

“And when you are tired of playing with them, what will you do?”
Jesus asked. And continued praying

“Oh, I will kill them all and their souls will be mine forever”
Lord by all respect, it’s their decision.(I Jn 3: 8-10)

“How much do you want for all of them?” Jesus asked.

“Oh, you can’t want these people. They aren’t anything good.
Why do you want them if they neither follow you nor love you?
Many hate you! I have seen many of them spitting on you, cursing you and even denying you.”
“What’s more, they love me a lot” (Mt 24: 10-13)

“You don’t want these people!”

“How much?” Jesus asked again

Satan looked at him with a nasty face

“All your tears and all your blood,
all the pain of the entire world, all together” (Is 53: 4-10; I Pet 2: 24)

Jesus said…”DONE”

“and He paid the price” (II Cor 5: 21)

How terrible it is that people don’t seek for God,
and then ask themselves why the world is going to hell!

How terrible that we seek the newspaper everyday to read tragedies
and we never seek the Bible

How insensible it is how everybody wants to go to heaven,
thinking they can get there without having to believe,
without loving God above all things,
or doing what the Bible says…the Laws of God.

Is it not terrible how some people can say “I believe in God”
but still follow Satan (Who as matter of fact, does fear God)
(II Tim 4: 3-4; II Jn 1: 7-11)

Don’t you think it’s pathetic how they send
each other thousands of jokes by email,
so they spread like plagues.

But when it’s about the Lord’s messages,
we think about it twice before we share them;
and we leave the mailboxes of our friends without this message

Don’t you think it is outrageous that the obscene,
vulgar and crude is allowed freely to pass through the internet
that even many people would desire to get into the screen.

But it is forbidden to speak publicly about Jesus
in the schools, places of work
self-helping groups, etc… (Acts 4: 19-20)

Even after knowing what He did for us.
Because the Romans didn’t kill Him. It was our sin.
that we may be forgiven
and know Him in His glory with the Father.

Doesn’t it seem incredible to you how somebody can be alight
on Sunday in the Church,
worshipping and thanking the Lord for His mercy,
for one more day to live etc.

But during the rest of the week he is an invisible Christian! (II Tim 3: 1-5; Rom 10: 9-13)

Does this seem just to you?

Don’t let Satan stop you sending this Mail
to all your contacts on the Web,
It doesn’t matter if he tells you that many don’t believe this
Don’t let him get through with his plans!

Stop worrying what the others may think about you
It is time to worry about what “God thinks about you”

May God bless you always (II Cor 13: 13)
