WHAT WE "DESERVE"—AND GET
A soft answer turneth awav wrath; but grievous words stir up anget (Goldqn Text), The only thing we evei did to "deserve" salvation was to be robels against God. One day a littlf girl, dressed in white, carrying a bunch of flowers, passed a small boy who was playing in a dusty street. The boy threw; * handful of d.irt at the girl. It
strxick the edge of her dress and fell on her shoes. She stood still. Her face fiushed as though she would cry, but instead she smiled and thfew a flower at the boy who waited to see what she would do. He was surprised and ashamed because in return for dirt he had received a flower. Man is a rebel against God, but all that he has evei received from God was the gift of thp Lord Jesus Christ.
