Tammy used to pass a store that had a beautiful doll in the window. One day when she and her brother Tim were passing the store, Tammy said, “I would just love to have that doll!”
What a surprise Tammy had a few weeks later! Her brother gave her a box, and what do you think was in it? It was that very same doll she had seen in the window. How she thanked Tim over and over again for such a wonderful gift.
Do you think Tammy paid her brother for the doll? Oh no! She just accepted it and thanked him for it. And that is what God wants us to do with His wonderful offer of salvation — just take it as a free gift. He has sent His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus, to die for you. If you ask Jesus to be your Saviour and thank Him for dying for you, God will make you one of His own children. Why not come to Him today? God’s gift of salvation is the best of all gifts.
