THE LORD'S BASEBALL GAME
Freddy and the Lord
stood by to observe a
baseball game.
The Lord's team was playing
Satan's team.
The Lord's
team was at bat, the score was tied
zero to zero, and it was the bottom of the 9th
inning with two outs. They continued to
watch
as a batter stepped up to the
plate named'Love.'
Love swung at the first
pitch and hit a single,
because
"Love never fails."
The next batter was named
Faith, who also got
a
single becauseFaith
works with Love.
The next batter up was named Godly Wisdom.
Satan wound up and threw
the first pitch.

Godly Wisdom looked it over and let it pass:
Ball one. Three more pitches and Godly Wisdom
walked because he never swings at what
Satan
throws.

Throws_arg]
The bases were now loaded. The Lord then
turned to Freddy and told him He was now
going to bring in
Hisstar
player.
Up to
the plate stepped
Grace. Freddy said, "He
sure
doesn't look like much!"
Satan's
whole team relaxed when they saw Grace.
Thinking he had won the game, Satan wound up
and fired his first pitch. To the shock of
everyone,
Grace hit the ball harder
than anyone had ever
seen! But
Satan was not worried; his center
fielder let very few get by.

He went up for the ball,
but it went right through
his glove,
hit him on the head and sent him
crashing on the ground;

the roaring crowds went wild
as the ball

The Lord's team w

The Lord then asked Freddy if he knew why
Love, Faith and Godly Wisdom
could get on
base but couldn't win
the game. Freddy
answered that
he didn't know why.
The Lord
explained, "If your love, faith and
wisdom had won the game, you
would think
you had done it
by yourself. Love, Faith and
Wisdom will get you on base
but only
My
Grace
can get you Home:
'For by Grace are you
saved, it is a gift of God; not of works, lest
any man should boast."
Psalm
84:11,"For the Lord God is
a sun and
shield; the Lord will give
grace and glory;
no good thing will He withhold from those
who walk uprightly."
Jesus' Test
This is
an easy test; you score 100 or zero. It's
your choice. If you aren't ashamed to do
this,
please follow the directions.
Jesus said, "If you
are ashamed
of me, I will be ashamed of you
before my Father."
Not
ashamed!! Pass
this on, if you mean it.

<, I do Love God. He is my source of
existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning
each and everyday. Without Him, I am
nothing,
but with him:
"I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me."
Phil 4:13
This is the simplest test . . If you Love
God,
and are not ashamed
of all the great things
He has done
for you. Send this to a few friends.

Some friends come into our lives
and quickly go, Others stay for a while and leave footprints
in our
hearts that last forever.....
A Life with Love will have some thorns
but a Life without Love
will have no roses.
