I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.
One day I saw a sign that read HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE.
As I got a little closer, the door open wide, and when I
came to myself, I was standing inside.
I saw a host of
ANGELS; they were standing everywhere. And one ANGEL said, “MY CHILD SHOP WITH
CARE.” Everything a CHRISTIAN needed was
in that grocery store. And all you
couldn’t carry, you could come back the next day for more.
First, I got some PATIENCE.
LOVE was in the same row. Further
down was UNDERSTANDING. You need that everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of
WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH. I just couldn’t miss the HOLY GHOST for it was
all over the place.
I stopped to get some
STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me run the race. By then, my basket was getting
full, but I remembered I need some GRACE.
I didn’t forget SALVATION. For SALVATION that was free.
So, I tried to get
enough of that save you and me.
Then I started to the counter to pay my grocery bill. For I thought
I had everything to do MY MASTER’s WILL. As I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER
and just had to put that in. For I knew
when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin.
PEACE and JOY were PLENTIFUL. They were on the last shelf. SONG and PRAISES
were hanging near so I just helped myself.
Then, I said now how much do I owe? HE just smiled and said,
JUST TAKE THEM EVERYWHERE YOU GO. How much do I really owe? HE smiled and said,
MY CHILD, JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A LONG TIME AGO." TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR
EVERYTHING IN 2012. LET THERE BE LIGHT DAILY AND EMBRACE GOD'S GRACE OVER YOUR
LIFE LIKE NEVER BEFORE!"
