Good Morning.
It is a beautiful sunrise, and should prove to be an amazingly beautiful day. The old record temperature for this date is 66. (You should see robins today, if you have not yet seen them.) May Jesus Christ be praised. Jesus our Lord in His Upper Room Discourse declared "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."John 15:13
There’s an old story about a 12 year old boy who came to church one cold winter day to get out of the blowing snow. He had been trying to sell newspapers but not a single customer had passed by because of the weather. He slipped into the back of the church, just hoping to get warm and to catch up on his sleep. Though the Sunday crowd was slim, the pastor preached with all of his heart about how Jesus loves us and how he died for our sins. The boy really paid attention, and he was greatly moved by the sermon. When the pastor was done, he called for the offering. The ushers went from row to row, and when the offering plate came to the boy, he stared at it for a while and then put it on the floor.
He then did something very strange and very beautiful. He stood up and stepped right into the offering plate. By then, all the people had turned around and were staring at the boy. When he looked up, he had big tears running down his face. And he said, "Pastor, I don’t have any money because I wasn’t able to sell any newspapers today. But, if Jesus gave His life for me, then the least I could do is to give my life to Him."
May the Lord propel us by the power of the Holy Spirit that we might offer our lives to Him fully . It is written in Romamns 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
In Christ,
Brown
