ONLY A CHILD OF FIVE

" ONE LINERS FOR YOUR SOUL" & ONE A DAY

       Take these seeds of thought below and turn THEM into a wisdom tree.

 

Is Your Love For God Only Puppy Love?

What if God’s love for us was no deeper than puppy love? 

Would He have sent Jesus to earth to die upon a cross?  Would puppy love put up with us as we persist in living OUT OF SORTS WITH HIS WILL AND WAY, and still forgive?  Thanks be to God that His love is mature and everlasting.  Not puppy love!

This is a long ago story…

He was the founder of a flourishing Christian community in India, although he had never been out of England.

To the amazed listeners he said that when he was five years old he wanted to give a penny to the missionaries but strongly objected to putting it in a brown box.

He had no proof that it ever went abroad.The local minister was a friend of the family and also the friend of an Indian missionary. So the minister, to please the child, sold him a copy of the New Testament for his penny and directed the boy how to post it to the missionary in India, having first written on the flyleaf an inscription giving the name of the boy.

The missionary gave it to a poor native who had walked miles through the jungle to procure a testament, but who couldn’t afford to buy one.
Nothing was heard of the incident for twenty years.

Then another missionary, preaching in a jungle village to people whom he thought had never previously heard the gospel message, noticed that his words were causing excited delight.

Pausing in his preaching to ask questions, the preacher found that the people knew a great deal about Christ and that many were serving him.

No preacher had ever been to the village before.

The little Christian community had been born through the love and life of the native who had been given the Testament…the Testament which was sold for a penny to a child of five.

“We are therefore Christ's ambassadors…” Corinthians 5:20
