Whisper or Brick?

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.  He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.

As his car passed, no children appeared.  Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!  He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.  He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about, and who are you?  Just what the heck are you doing?"  Building up a head of steam he went on, "That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money.

Why did you do it?"  "Please mister, please.  I'm sorry, I didn't know what else to do." pleaded the youngster.  "I threw the brick because no one else would stop...” Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked car.  "It's my brother," he said. 

"He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?  He's hurt and he's too heavy for me." 

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in this throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be okay. 

"Thank you and May God bless you," the grateful child said to him.

The man then watched the little boy push his brother down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long walk back to his Jaguar.. a long slow walk. 

He never did repair the side door.  He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention. 

God whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart.

Sometimes when you don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you.

It's your choice ~ Listen to the whisper or Wait for the brick

This is something to think about in your everyday life.

IF SOMEONE HAD A GUN HELD IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE AND ASKED YOU IF

YOU BELIEVED IN GOD WHAT WOULD YOU DO? SAY NO 

AND FEEL ASHAMED THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? OR SAY YES, I DO AND DIE STANDING UP FOR GOD?

IF YOU'D SAY NO THAN DELETE THIS E-MAIL IF YOU WOULD STAND UP FOR JESUS CHRIST, Please Read on.

Less than a year ago.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH BEFORE READING THIS.

There was an atheist couple that had a child. The couple never told their daughter anything about the Lord. One night when the little girl was 5 years old, the parents fought with each other and the dad shot the Mom, right in front of the child. Then, the dad shot himself. The little girl watched it all. She then was sent to a foster home. The foster mother was a Christian and took the child to church. On the first day of Sunday school, the foster mother told the teacher that the girl had never heard of Jesus, and to have patience with her. The teacher held up a picture of Jesus and said, "Does anyone know who this is?" The little girl said, "I do, that's the man who was holding me the night my parents died."

If you believe this little girl is telling the truth that even though she had never heard of Jesus, he still held her the night her parents died, then you will forward this to as many people as you can. Or you can delete it as if it never touched your heart. Funny, isn't it?

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.

Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says. (Or is it scary?)

Funny how someone can say, "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).

Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.

Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Funny how someone can get fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week. 
(Are you laughing?)

Funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.

Funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me. (Are you thinking?)

Pass this on only if you mean it. Yes, I do love God. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.

(Phil 4:13)
