Ponder This ...
Have You Ever Received
A Big, Sumptuously Wrapped, And Bow-Decorated Gift Box
And Lifted It Up To Check The Weight
Shaken It To Hear If It Rattled
Checked The Gift Card To See From Whom It Came
Because
You May Have Some Cheapskate Friends, Relations, And Acquaintances
And
Recognizing That It Is From The Generous Benefactor
Who Always Gives Good And Perfect Gifts
Proceeded To Place That Good Gift
In A Highly Visible And Well Lighted Corner
Without Opening It
Because
You're Going To Save It For A Rainy Day
Which Only Comes Twice A Year
Since You Live In A Desert!?!
Beloved,
Salvation Full And Free
Is
The Open And Still Wrapped Gift
With The Name Of Our Lord Jesus
Prominently Displayed On The Name Tag
But
With An Appetizingly-Thick Love Letter Attached Saying:
"Open Immediately
And
Dig For Hid Treasure
Pearls Of Wisdom
Tried Gold
Healing Balm
Eye Salve
And
A White Robe Of Righteousness
An Over-Comer's Crown
And
Your New Name And Life
In And With Me!"
Today Is The Day Of Salvation!
The Book Of Love
Is
Given To You To Explore And Experience!
Open The Gifted, Sure Word Of Almighty God
And
Line Memory's Hall
With The Found Treasures Of Goodness
Harvested From Your Excavations!
Peace!
By Your Grace, Lord, I Will Follow The Map In The Book Of Love, The Living Word Of Truth, To Find The Hidden Treasure, Which Cannot Decay Or Be Destroyed, Which Leads To Life Everlasting!
