PLEASE READ THIS.
A young man was getting ready
to graduate from college. For
many
months he had admired a
beautiful sports car in a dealers
showroom, and knowing his father could
well afford it, he told him that
was all
he wanted. As Graduation Day
approached, the young man
awaited signs that his father had purchased the car.. Finally,
on the morning of his
graduation, his father called him
into his private study. His father
told him how proud he was to
have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He
handed his son a beautiful
wrapped gift box. Curious, but
somewhat disappointed, the
young man opened the box and
found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's
name embossed in gold. Angrily,
he raised his voice to his father
and said," With all your money
you give me a Bible?" and
stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the
young man was very successful
in business. He had a beautiful
home and wonderful family, but
realized his father was very old and thought perhaps he should
go to him.He had not seen Him
since that graduation day. But
before he could make
arrangements, he received a
telegram telling him his father had passed away,
and willed all of his possessions
to
his son. He needed to come
home immediately and take care
of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness
and regret filled his heart. He
began to search through his
father's important papers
and saw the still new Bible, just
as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and
began to turn the pages. His
father had carefully underlined a
verse, Matt 7:11 ,"And if ye,
being evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly
Father which is in Heaven, give
to those who ask Him?"As he
read those words, a car key
dropped from the back of the
Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer
who had the sports car he had
desired.. On the tag was the date
of his graduation, and the word..
PAID IN FULL.
