Amazingly,… I once watched a most incredible thing. I watched a small bird trying to gather string, which I presumed would have gone into the building of a nest. Amazingly, this little creature acting on instinct alone would gather this kind of material for building. You see, a bird cannot reason, “A piece of string would be nice to use for building my nest, so I’ll take it.” God has given this little bird the instinct to function. You probably are thinking, “What’s so incredible about watching a bird do what it naturally does?” I watched as the bird made several attempts to gather the string. She would pick up one end of the string in her beak and fly upward, but the string would fall, and she would try again. This activity went on for several minutes. What made this so incredible to me was that the other end of the string was attached to a boat sitting on a boat trailer. I thought of the bird’s persistence in her efforts. No matter how many times she failed, the bird kept on trying. How often do you and I show

Author – Unknown “What has God ever done for me?” grumbled an angry 23-year-old man named Victor. “I mean, why should I believe this so-called God guy loves me as you say He does when He hasn’t done anything to help me or my life?!” “Oh?” said his uncle sitting next to him on the bus. “What do you feel has gone wrong in your life that God caused?” he continued. Victor snapped, “I didn’t say God caused it, but He sure didn’t do anything to help me out! I had to deal with some pretty bad things all on my own, and, no thanks to Him, I fixed them all on my own too!” His uncle nodded slightly and replied, “I assume you are referring to the hard time you began having when you got involved in street drugs and heavy drinking?” “That’s part of it,” responded Victor as he glared out the bus window. His uncle turned to look at him, and then said, “Did your parents teach you, or tell you to get involved with these dangerous substances that can

True Royalty Author – Unknown A beggar lived near the king’s palace. One day he saw a proclamation posted outside the palace gate. The king was giving a great dinner. Anyone dressed in royal garments was invited to the party. The beggar went on his way. He looked at the rags he was wearing and sighed. Surely only kings and their families wore royal robes, he thought. Slowly an idea crept into his mind. The audacity of it made him tremble. Would he dare? He made his way back to the palace. He approached the guard at the gate. “Please, sire, I would like to speak to the king.” “Wait here,” the guard replied. In a few minutes, he was back. “His Majesty will see you,” he said and led the beggar in. “You wish to see me?” asked the king. “Yes, Your Majesty. I want so much to attend the banquet, but I have no royal robes to wear. Please, sir, if I may be so bold, may I have one of your old garments so that I, too, may come to the banquet?” The beggar shook so hard

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: “I don’t believe that God exists.” “Why do you say that?” asked the customer. “Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.” The customer thought for a moment but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barbershop again

Each room was… Jesus Wants All of You Author – Unknown Once there was this very wealthy young man. He lived in a great, elaborate house with dozens of rooms. Each room was more comfortable and more beautiful than the one before it. There were paintings and sculptures. Crystal chandeliers, and golden, ornate railings on the stairs. More beauty than most have ever seen. One day he decided to invite the Lord to come and stay with him. When the Lord arrived, this young man offered him the very best room in the house. The room was upstairs and at the end of the hall. “This room is yours, Jesus! Stay as long as you like and you can do whatever you want to in this room, remember Jesus, it’s all yours.” “Thank you” the Lord replied, and with that, the man shut the door and went about his daily business. That evening after he had retired for the night there came a loud knocking at the front door. The young man pulled on his robe and made his way downstairs. When he opened the door he found that the devil had sent
