LIFE IS A GIFT

LIFE IS A GIFT


I think of ALL the writings
In the BIBLE=Luke chapter 15
Is among my FAVORITES


About one lost sheep-
One lost coin=
And ONE LOST SON=
Yearning for home
And his Father


Otherwise known as the story
Of the PRODIGAL SON


“While he was
STILL a long way off


His father caught sight
Of him
And was FILLED WITH COMPASSION” Luke 15:20


You CAN'T EARN God's love=
It is an OPEN-ENDED GIFT
To us=that is always AVAILABLE


And there is no better
Illustration of this=than chapter 15
Of LUKE'S GOSPEL


There are many people
In this world
That are trying
To just get by


That have DOUBTS in
Their faith=
That have WALKED AWAY
From God


READ chapter 15 of Luke's gospel
And KNOW that God is just
WAITING for you to COME HOME


Just like the FATHER
Of the prodigal son
LIFE=LOVE=is a GIFT from God
Use it wisely=
And COME BACK HOME


“That each of them
May eat and drink
And find satisfaction


In all their toil--------
This is the GIFT
Of God” Ecclesiastes 3:13


“For the wages of sin
Is death


But the GIFT OF GOD
Is eternal life
In Christ Jesus-OUR LORD” Romans 6:23


“Do not neglect YOUR GIFT
Which was given you
Through prophecy


When the body of elders
Laid their hands on you” 1 Timothy 4:14


In the parable
Of the PRODIGAL SON
Jesus reminds us


That God sees us
And LOVES US
From a distance


God stretches out his arms
For us=He is WAITING
For us
To just COME BACK HOME


We don't earn God's gift=
We just ACCEPT IT
As the GIFT
That it is


If you've been AWAY
From God=for a LONG TIME
Just come back HOME
He is WAITING FOR YOU


LIFE is a gift
God's LOVE is a gift
For you


“........while we WAIT
For the blessed HOPE--------


The appearing of the glory
Of our great God
And SAVIOR=Jesus Christ” Titus 2:13


Dear Lord=I LONG for you
Like the PRODIGAL SON


I love you=and I appreciate
The GREAT GIFT OF LIFE


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER WAITING FATHER
