Determine what is most important
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, told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him. He handed him a
beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened
the box and found a lovely,
leather-bound Bible, with his name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his
voice to his father and said,"With all your money you give me a Bible?" He
stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible behind.
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. He thought perhaps he
should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.
But before he could mak arrangements, he received a telegram telling him
his father had passed
away, and willed all of his possessions to him. He needed to come home
immediately and take
care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sadness and regret
filled his heart. He began to search through his father's
important documents and saw the Bible, new, 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 words..."PAID IN FULL".
