The Lord's Test
Good Morning, Can you pass the Lord's Test? It's simple and no
studying is required.
I woke up this morning and knew that today,
The sun would not be shining and the clouds would be gray.
As I stepped outside, rain fell upon my head.
My car wouldn't start so I walked to school instead.
I forgot all of my assignments, I failed all of my tests.
I dropped my head in disgust and asked the Lord for one request.
"Lord, why is it that things won't go my way?"
He gently replied, "Dear child it is because you didn't thank me
yesterday.
I woke you up and enabled you to see the sun again.
I gave you shelter, protected your family, and even let you make
a
new friend.
I blessed you far greater than I ever had before.
But you were too busy to thank me once more.
You didn't feel sick because I maintained your health.
You had money in your pocket because I maintained your wealth.
You had shoes on you feet and clothes to wear, too.
You had plenty of food to eat, and what did you do?
You simply ignored me and went about your tasks.
But when you wanted something you never hesitated to ask.
I was there when you needed me... and that wasn't too long ago.
But when things started going your way, it was me you did not
know.
As if that weren't enough, I provided your favorite luxuries.
This was something I didn't have to do - they weren't even
necessities.
And when it was time to get on your knees and show your
gratitude,
You decided that after such a fulfilling day, you just weren't in
the mood.
So I decided to give you just a little test.
To show you how it would feel to stop being blessed."
I began to realize what the Lord was saying.
And when I got home, I fell to my knees and started praying.
He said, "My child, you have learned and you know I do forgive.
But think about and remember this day as long as you shall live.
I love filling your life with joy, and your pain I'll alleviate
it.
But just a simple thank you would show how much you appreciate
it!"
Pass this on to everyone you pray the Lord will bless.
There are no catches or rules just this simple test.
How many people to send it to is all in your hands...
| Jesus:
Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
He had no army, yet kings feared him.
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
Feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us.
| The Holy Man and the Lord’s 7%
A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like." The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, "You have seen Hell." They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, "I don't understand." " It is simple" said the Lord, "it requires but one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves."
When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you! If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for him forward this w/ the title 7%
93% of people won't forward this.......
