Father, I Wanted A Car, Not A Bible by lbgr8t1993: 1:38pm On Jan 27, 2015
FATHER, I WANTED A
CAR, NOT A BIBLE

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
make 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, heopened 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 hisgraduation, and the
words...PAID IN FULL. How many times do
we miss God's blessings because they are not
packaged as we expected? If this touched your
heart, please pass it
on!!Please read b4 u go home or u are at
home already,read this to the end. My
name is God. You hardly have time for
me. I love you and alwys bless u. I am
always with you. I need you to spend
30mins of your time with Me today. Don't
pray. Just praise.Today I want this message across the world before midnight. Will you
help ? Please do not cut it and I'll help
you with something that you are in need
of. Just dare Me! A blessing is coming your way. Pls Drop everything & pass it on. Tomorrow will be the Best Day of your Life. Don't break this
chain
