Heaven’s Grocery Store

As I was walking down life’s highway many years ago,I came upon a sign that read: “Heaven’s Grocery Store”.

　　When I got a little closer，the doors swung open wide.

　　And when I came to myself，I was standing inside.

　　I saw a host of angels; they were standing everywhere.

　　One handed me a basket and said，“My child，shop with care.”

　　Everything a human needed was in that grocery store.

　　And what you could not carry you could come back for more.

　　First I got some Patience; Love was in that same row.

　　Further down was Understanding，you need that everywhere you go.

　　I got a box or two of Wisdom and Faith a bag or two.

　　And Charity，of course，I would need some of that too.

　　I couldn’t miss the Holy Ghost; it was all over the place.

　　And then some Strength and Courage to help me run the race.

　　My basket was getting full，but I remembered I needed Grace,

　　And then I chose Salvation for Salvation was for free,I tried to get enough of that to do for you and me.

　　Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill,For I thought I had everything to do the Master’s will.

　　As I went up the aisle，I saw Prayer and put that in,For I knew when I stepped outside，I would run into sin.

　　Peace and Joy were plentiful，the last things on the shelf.

　　Song and Praise were hanging near，so I just helped myself.

　　Then I said to the angel，“ Now，how much to I owe?”

　　He smiled and said，“Just take them everywhere you go.”

　　Again I asked，“Really now，how much do I owe?”

　　“My child,” he said，“Jesus paid your bill a long time ago.”

I read about this article coincidently. Ya, frankly speaking, sometime i really thought i have to pay for it (by discipline myself, by studying and read bible verses, by... etc) in order to got God's grace, God' strength, favour... But the truth is , Jesus has already paid for me, He paid for all of us by dying on the cross and resurrection from the death. Hope this article remind you of His love, He has done all the things for us, given His love and life freely to us. People of God, live life as God's people, cheers.

Jesus paid it all for me and you.
