A thought from chapter 5…(of the Kite Runner)
It is the servant boy's birthday, each year his master will give him a present. This year it is something unusual.
The servant boy is (unfortunately) born with harelip. To everyone's surprise, his rich master brought home a plastic surgeon on his birthday, as you may well guess, the present this year is something that last him forever.
The master’s son discreetly thought to himself, “it's unfair, what had the servant boy done to earn my father's affections? He didn't do anything!”
As the story goes here, I am then reminded about my Heavenly Father. I didn't do or neither can I do anything to earn my Heavenly Father’s affections. God is already affectionate about me. He freely gives and I freely receive, it is a present which I do not deserve but purely His grace to give it to me.
