This is a very beautiful story that will surely touch your heart. I hope you will enjoy it as I give the details.
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For
many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s 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 beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat
disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound
Bible.
Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, “With
all your money, you give me a Bible?” and stormed out of the house, leaving the
holy book.
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.
Before he could make arrangements, he received SMS 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 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. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped
behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had
the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and
the words … PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God’s blessings because they are
not packaged as we expected?
As we worship God today, remember His Grace is sufficient.
