i love this story

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For months , he had admired a sports car . He asked his wealthy dad to buy for him, telling him that was all he wanted .

Finally on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study room. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son n how much he loved him. He then handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box.

Disappointed but curious, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather bound Bible w the young man's name embossed in gold.

Angrily, he rose n said to his father," You are so rich yet u give me just a Bible?"' After that he stormed out of the house.

Many years later, the young man became very successful in business, had a big nice house n wonderful family. He knew his father was very old and decided to visit him. He had not seen him since the graduation day..... Before he could set off, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away and willed all his possessions to his son. His son need to come home instantly to take care of things.

When the man arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness filled his heart, regret too...He began to search thru his father's impt letter n papers and his eyes fell on the same Bible..With tears running down his face, he opened the Bible n began to turn the pages....His father had carefully underlined a verse of Scripture. "if u then though u are evil, know how to give good gifts to the ur children, how much more will ur Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him"' (matthew 7:11)

As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible... It had a tag w the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation n the words ----paid in full

How many times do we miss God's blessings because we cant see past our own desires????

God, i want to follow ur path, not just to get blessings but because I love Him and trust that He knows what is best for my Life.....
