Evolution of love

PAID IN FULL

  A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his
father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study, told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him. He handed him a beautifully wrapped gift box.

When he arrived at his father's house, sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important documents and saw the Geeta,new,just as he had left it years ago.

how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father which is in Heaven, give to those who ask Him?"

As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Geeta. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.

On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...
