All should come to eternal life

Jerome was an 8 year old boy who lived in a loving environment. Mom and Dad loved him and treated him well. Jerome was a loving young man.
However Jerome had a learning disability. He was a slow learner. He was not mentally challenged. He was a slow learner. His classmates were aware of it and he became the subject of a lot of teasing.
The teasing hurt Jerome but he never fought back. He was a loving child and it hurt when kids made fun of him and called him names and ostracized him. He played alone at recess and walked home alone.
After supper on February 13th his mother said “Tomorrow is Valentines Day”. Jerome had forgotten. He ran to his room and started making Valentines cards for his classmates. Mentally he went down the rows of seats in his classroom, thought of the person sitting in each seat and made a special Valentine for each one of them.
As he left for school with a fistful of Valentines the next morning, his mother prayed “Dear Lord let him receive just one Valentine from a classmate, just one, please Lord.”
He placed a card on each desk and the reactions were quick. The girls said “Uhhhh who wants a Valentines from Jerome?” The boys said “Boys don’t give Valentines to boys, Stupid.” No one gave a Valentine to Jerome.
As he arrived home he looked at his Mom and said “Not even one, Mom, I didn’t forget even one.
Jerome was so much like Jesus. No matter how much he was abused, mistreated, humiliated, bullied, belittled…..he only returned love.
Scripture says that “God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to eternal life.
If your relationship with God is not what it could be, I have good news for you. He still loves you and He has plans to prosper you.
