HEAVEN'S
GROCERY STORE
I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.
One day I saw a sign that read "Heaven's Grocery
Store". As I got a little closer, the door came open wide, and when I came to myself I was standing inside. I saw a host of angels. They were standing everywhere. One handed me a basket and said, "My child, shop with care". Everything a Christian needed is in the Grocery Store. And if you couldn't carry them, you could come back for more. First I got some PATIENCE. LOVE was in the same row. Further down was UNDERSTANDING, you need that wherever you go. I got a box of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH. I couldn't miss the HOLY GHOST, for He was all over the place. I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me win the race. And though my basket was getting full, I remembered to get some GRACE. I didn't forget SALVATION, for salvation, that was free. So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me. Then I started up the counter to pay the grocery bill, for I thought I had everything to do my Master's will. As I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER and I just had to put that in, for I knew when I stepped outside, I would run into sin. PEACE and JOY were plentiful, they were on the last shelf. SONG and PRAISES were hanging near so I just helped myself. Then I said to the Angel, "Now how much do I owe?" He just smiled and said, Just take them everywhere you go!" Again I smiled at him and said, "How much do I really owe?" The Angel smiled again and said, "My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago."
My friends, do you know today that JESUS DIED FOR YOU? Everything in his "Grocery Store" is yours, free for the taking. As a Christian we need every one of these items to make it through life's hard times. So many times we use them without once remembering that for us to have these things our JESUS had to first die on the cross for each and everyone of us. Please pray today! And thank him for dieing on the cross for you. Kat
