>> >>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>In the city of Chicago, one cold,
>> >>>>>>>dark night, a blizzard was
>> >>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>setting in. 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
>> >>>>>>>wasn't trying to sell many
>> >>>>>>>papers.
>> >>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>He walked up to a policeman and
>> >>>>>>>said, "Mister, you wouldn't
>> >>>>>>>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 it's 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 don't 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
>> >>>>>>>haven't 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 couldn't eat
>> >>>>>>>any more. Then he thought to
>> >>>>>>>himself : John 3:16..... boy, I
>> >>>>>>>sure don't 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
>> >>>>>>>don't understand it but it
>> >>>>>>>sure does make a dirty boy clean.
>> >>>>>>>You know, I've not had 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 don't 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 table full
>> >>>>>>>of food. After he ate, she took
>> >>>>>>>him down again 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 ma'am, I don't.
>> >>>>>>>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 don't
>> >>>>>>>understand it, but it sure makes
>> >>>>>>>a lost boy feel safe.
>> >>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>You know, I have to confess I
>> >>>>>>>don't 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 don't understand the agony of
>> >>>>>>>the Father and every angel in
>> >>>>>>>Heaven as they watched Jesus
>> >>>>>>>suffer and die. I don't understand
>> >>>>>>>the intense love for ME that
>> >>>>>>>kept Jesus on the cross till
>> >>>>>>>the end. I don't understand it,
>> >>>>>>>but it sure does make life worth living.
>> >>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>John 3:16 - For God so loved the
>> >>>>>>>world, that he gave his only
>> >>>>>>>begotton Son, that whosever believeth in Him
>> >>>>>>>should not perish, but have
>> >>>>>>>everlasting life.
>> >>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>If you aren't 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 thingshe has done for you, send this on.
>> >>Take 60
>> >>>>>>>seconds &give this a shot! Let's justsee 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!)
>> >>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>2.) Then send it on to five other
>> >>>>>>>people. Within hours, five
>> >>>>>>>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.
