I would like to share with you a memorable story that
I was once told which demonstrates God's unfailing love for His children.
There was a little American girl, very young, who was
on a flight back to her home where her father was to meet her. I forget
why she had gone away. The stewards were giving out free sweets to all
the young children and the girl, for the whole flight home, ate sweet
after sweet after sweet.
When they had almost got home the girl was sick all over
her seat and her dress. The stewardess who had given her all the sweets
was so disgusted she refused to clean up the mess.
As the plane landed the father was waiting patiently for
his little princess who he hadn't seen for such a long time. He had
just come from work and was wearing his newest, smartest suit. A suit
he loved so much to wear.
As the plane door opened the little girl, wanting her
daddy ran out of the terminal. Excited at the sight of her daddy she
runs straight for him. The father immediately notices the horrible mess
that covers his daughter's dress as she runs straight for him but as
she reaches him he snatches her up in his arms and hugs her tightly
to his chest, running the clothes he wore. He loved his new suit. But
the love he had for his daughter was unbeatable, and even though she
was a mess, and would ruin his suit, he cared too much about her and
just wanted to hold her in his arms.
Jesus Christ too wants that relationship with us. Our lives are in a
mess. But he does not care. He loves us. Every single one of us and
waits with open arms for us to run to him and embrace him, where he
will clean us up and never turn us away. PLEASE RUN INTO HIS ARMS TODAY!
IF YOU ARE ALREADY THERE, HELP THE OTHERS REACH THIS WONDERFUL GOAL!!
God Bless.
