This morning I read this short story Parable from somewhere, and I really liked it a lot so I'm going to share it:

The main scripture is: Ephesians 2:8-9

'' For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.''

This is the story: I did NOT write this.

"Bob was caught up in the spirit where he and the Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. There were two teams: The Lord's team and Satan's team. The Lord's team was at bat, the score was tied to zero to zero, and it was the bottom of NINTH inning with two outs.

They continued to watch as a batter stepped up to the plate whose name was Love. Love swung at the first place and hit a single, because Love never fails. The next batter was named Faith, who also got a single because Faith 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, because Godly Wisdom does not swing at Satan's pitches. Ball one. Three more pitches and Godly Wisdom walked, because Godly wisdom never swings at Satan's throws. The bases were loaded.

The Lord then turned to Bob, and told him he was now going to bring in his star player. Up to the plate stepped Grace. Bob said he sure did not 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 then anyone had ever seen.

But Satan was not worried; his center fielder, the Prince of the air, 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; ( LOL xD) then it continued over the fence for a home run!

The Lord's team won. ( YAY!) The Lord then asked Bob if he knew why Love, Faith, and Godly Wisdom could get on base but could not win the game. Bob answered that he did not 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.''


 
I TRULY loved this and that bible verse that says, "my grace is sufficient for thee. When we think we can't do it, can't handle it, can't face it, can't hold it, etc. The One and only ONe steps in, and blows everything away, out of the way, and with his plans, his words, we are the winners, not once, but, "we are more than conquerors through CHRIST JESUS. PRAISE HIM. *:)
 
That game was a real nail biter and it all came down to Grace. I thought for a moment that the game was going into extra innings.
 
Wow! This is the first I read this parable thanks for sharing. I will share it too.. :)
