I just received this from my brother this week and thought it had such a wonderful message I would share it with all of you.

I was at Bass Pro today and heard a loud crash and something shattering. Being nosy, I walked towards the sound and saw some people whispering and looking back to the end of the next aisle. When I walked down the aisle, I saw that an elderly man had hit a shelf and many things had fallen to the floor and broken. He was kneeling on the floor, embarrassed, frantically trying to clean up the mess. I felt so bad for him. Everyone was standing there staring at him. So I went and knelt beside him and told him not to worry and started to help him pick up the broken pieces. After about a minute, the store manager knelt down beside us and said, “Leave it, we will clean it up.”  The man, totally embarrassed said, “I need to pay for all of this.”  The manager smiled, helped him to his feet and said, “No sir, we have insurance for this, you do not have to pay for anything!”  If you have read this far, give me another minute of your time.

Wherever you are, close your eyes and imagine God doing the same for you!  Imagine the broken pieces of your mistakes, or the pieces of your broken heart from all the blows life has thrown at you all over the floor.  Imagine you’re there trying to collect all of the pieces and fix them yourself.  Now imagine God comes and kneels right down beside you, smiles and says, “Leave it there.  I will clean this up for you.”

He loves you that much and wants to put all of those broken pieces back together if you will let Him. With Him we have this insurance and it’s free. All you have to do is ask Him to save you, to forgive you, help you and to heal you.   Remember, God loves you unconditionally, He’s faithful, I promise.  As long as we have God, anything and everything is possible.
