Im no Christian fella and dont pretend to be. I believe and God and Love God and I pray daily throughout the day even though I screw up a lot......but I received an email from a Brother officer of mine who I look up too and respect. He is a Gang Investigator with The FBI Gang Task Force and a role model to many individuals. He is also a Godly man. Usually I keep stuff like this to myself, but this was way too awesome and really touched me for some reason so I had to share it. If this offends you then delete it or me but this is AMAZING to me. This is so good! John 3:16 A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner, the people were in and out of the cold. The little boy was so cold that he wasnt trying to sell many papers. He walked up to a policeman and said, Mister, you wouldnt happen to know where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you? You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and its awful cold in there for tonight. Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay. The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, You go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out the door you just say John 3:16, and they will let you in. So he did.. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said, John 3:16 .. The lady said, Come on in, Son. She took him in and she sat him down in a split bottom rocker in front of a great big old fireplace, and she went off.. The boy sat there for a while and thought to himself: John 3:16 .... I dont understand it, but it sure makes a cold boy warm. Later she came back and asked him Are you hungry? He said, Well, just a little. I havent eaten in a couple of days, and I guess I could stand a little bit of food, The lady took him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table full of wonderful food. He ate and ate until he couldnt eat anymore. Then he thought to himself:John 3:16... Boy, I sure dont understand it but it sure makes a hungry boy full. She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub filled with warm water, and he sat there and soaked for a while. As he soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16 ... I sure dont understand it, but it sure makes a dirty boy clean. You know, Ive not had a bath, a real bath, in my whole life. The only bath I ever had was when I stood in front of that big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out.. The lady came in and got him. She took him to a room, tucked him into a big old feather bed, pulled the covers up around his neck, kissed him goodnight and turned out the lights. As he lay in the darkness and looked out the window at the snow coming down on that cold night, he thought to himself:John 3:16 ..... I dont understand it but it sure makes a tired boy rested. The next morning the lady came back up and took him down again to that same big table full of food. After he ate, she took him back to that same big old split bottom rocker in front of the fireplace and picked up a big old Bible. She sat down in front of him and looked into his young face. Do you understand John 3:16 ? she asked gently. He replied, No, Maam, I dont. The first time I ever heard it was last night when the policeman told me to use it, She opened the Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain to him about Jesus . Right there, in front of that big old fireplace, he gave his heart and life to Jesus... He sat there and thought: John 3:16 -- I dont understand it, but it sure makes a lost boy feel safe. You know, I have to confess I dont understand it either, how God was willing to send His Son to die for me, and how Jesus would agree to do such a thing. I dont understand the agony of the Father and every angel in heaven as they watched Jesus suffer and die. I dont understand the intense love for ME that kept Jesus on the cross till the end. I dont understand it, but it sure does make life worth living... John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.... If you arent ashamed to do this, please follow the directions . Jesus said, If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father. Pass this on only if you mean it. I do Love God . He is my source of existence..... He keeps me functioning each and every day. Phil 4:13 If you love God and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things he has done for you, send this on.. Take 60 seconds & give this a shot ! Lets just see if Satan stops this one. All you do is: 1) Simply say a small prayer for the person who sent you this, Father,God bless this person in whatever it is that You know he or she may be needing this day. In Jesus Name, Amen ! 2) Then send it on to ten other people or as many as you can. Within hours ten people have prayed for you, and you caused a multitude of people to pray to God for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that you know He loves.
