The Proposal
A man from Florida decided to propose to his girlfriend in the moonlight of a Brazilian beach. Around midnight, the moon suddenly broke through the clouds, and he slipped the ring onto her finger. At that very moment, local fireworks appropriately exploded, and she accepted his proposal. He then told her a secret he had deliberately kept from her. He was a millionaire. When we first come to Christ, we come to Him in His absolute poverty. He hangs before us, on a cruel cross. We come as poverty-stricken and wretched sinners, hoping for reconciliation with a God we have greatly offended. It's only when we are forgiven that we begin to understand the unspeakable wealth we have in Christ ... wealth that makes all the riches of this world combined seem like the leftovers of a trash bin after it's been emptied. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
