Heaven's Grocery Store

I was walking down life's highway a long time ago,
One day I saw a sign that read "Heaven's Grocery Store."
As I got a little closer, the door came open wide.
And when I came to myself, I was standing there inside.

I saw a host of angels, they were standing everywhere,
One handed me a basket and said, "My child, shop with care."
Everything a Christian needed was in that grocery store,
And all you couldn't carry, you could come back for more.

First, I got some patience, love was in the same row,
Further down was understanding, you need that wherever you go.
I got a box or two of wisdom and a bag or two of faith,
I just couldn't miss the Holy Ghost, for it was all over the place.

I stopped to get some strength and courage, to help me run
the race.
By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I
needed some grace.
I didn't forget salvation, for salvation, that was free,
So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
Then I started up to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought I had everything to do my Master's will.

As I went up the aisle, I saw prayer and I just had to put that in,
For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin.
Peace and joy were all plentiful, they were on the last shelf,
Song and praises were hanging near, so I just helped myself.

Then I said to the angel, "Now how much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again, I smiled at him and said "How much do I owe?"
He smiled again and said, "My child, Jesus paid your bill a long
time ago."

"The True meaning of Love"

One First Class Ticket to Heaven

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I
acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry
for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your
forgiveness.

I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed
His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for
my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.

You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we
confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that
God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.

Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With
my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead.
This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own
personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I
am saved

Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has
saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace
never leads to license, but rather it always leads to
repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so
that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to
myself.

Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal
life.
Amen.

With Love,
Jesus Christ

Ladies and Gentlemen if you've prayed this prayer contact me. I'd love to hear from you.
I Love You In Jesus Name
