CHARITY is being rescued by the LORD

I love you just as the Father loves me.  ~ John 15:9

Someone asked an old chief “Why’re you always talking about Jesus?” 
The chief didn’t say anything.  Instead, he collected some dry grass and twigs and put them into a circle. 
Next he caught a caterpillar, feeding on a nearby clump of weeds.  He placed it inside the circle.  Then, he took a match and set fire to the dry grass and the twigs.  As the fire blazed up, the caterpillar began to search for an escape. 
At this point the old chief extended his finger to the caterpillar.  Instantly, it climbed on to it. 
He said, “That’s what Jesus did for me.  I was like the caterpillar, without hope.  Then Jesus rescued me.  How can I not talk about my Savior’s love and mercy?”  ~ Mark Link, S.J.

How grateful are you for what Jesus did for us?  How do you show it concretely?

It wasn’t the nails that held Jesus on the cross but his love for us.
