There's That World

There was a farmer who had some puppies he needed to sell. He made a sign advertising the pups and posted it in his yard. It wasn’t long before a boy showed up in response to the sign. “Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.” “Well,” said the farmer, “these puppies cost a good deal of money.” The boy reached deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?” “Sure,” said the farmer. The farmer whistled and called, “Here Dolly!” From the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little pups. The little boy’s eyes danced with delight. As the dogs approached, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little pup appeared, but this one was considerably smaller. The little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up. “I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, “Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.” The little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and rolled up one leg of his pants revealing a steel brace running down both sides of his leg. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "Mister, I don't run too well myself, and that puppy needs someone who understands.” You know everyone of us has flaws and weaknesses some are visible and some aren’t but we all have them. The young boy, chose that pup knowing what he was getting. Know what? God chose you and He knew full well what He was getting and He too understands our feelings and our weaknesses. 

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Do you understand what is being said here? God so loved the ones He knew would be wonderful people. No! No! God loved the world; who is in the world? All people good people, bad people, rich people, poor people and all kinds of people. Somewhere in there you and I fit in and His love was so great that God let His only Son go to a cross and die for all of us. It matters not what color you, are what language you speak, where you live or where you are from. God loves you and wants you to have everlasting life.

Romans 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Romans 10:11  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Romans 10:12  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

Romans 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. There’s that world of people again “that if thou” “whosoever believeth” “there is no difference” “for whosoever shall call.” God good to us all!
