One day an 11 year old girl asked her daddy, ”what are you
going to get me for my 15th birthday ?”
The father replied,”there is much time left.”
When the girl was 14 she fainted and was rushed to the hospital. The doctor came out and told her dad she had a bad heart and she is probably gonna die…
when she was lying in the hospital bed, she said “daddy… have they told you i am going to die ?” The father replied; “no you will live” as he left weeping.
She said “how can you be sure.” He turned around from the door and said”i know.”
The father replied,”there is much time left.”

She turns 15 when she is recovering and comes home to find a letter on her bed. It says : ”my dearest daughter, if you are reading this it means all went well as i told you. One day you asked me what i was giving you for your 15th birthday, i didn’t know then but now my present to you is my heart.”
Her father had donated his heart!
This story reminds me of the unconditional love of God, who sent his only begotten Son (his heart), to die a very painful death on the cross for our sins and to secure our salvation. What a wonderful God he is.
