Forever21's "Gospel in a nutshell"

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I've alway enjoyed shopping at Forever21. There floors sparkle and shine. There cloths are cute, and there jewelry is fun and modern. Everytime I go in I always come out with something fun in my bag! But this time it wasn't just whats was in my bag that put a smile on my face, but what was on it. When I went to take a few photos of my finds. I saw for the first time what was printed on the bottom of there yellow bag. John 3:16.


This is what I found on wikipedia.

Forever 21 has received attention in the media for printing "John 3:16" on the bottom of their trademark yellow bags. A spokeswoman from Forever 21's LA headquarters said the Biblical quote is a "demonstration of the owners' Christian faith." (A similar practice has been maintained by the In-N-Out Burger and Chick-Fil-A chains, which prints the quote "John 3:16" on the bottom of some of its cups.)

It's really neat to me, to see company's do something like this. No matter how small it's still a statement of truth.

When The Sun Goes Down

We see the sun rise and fall everyday. The warmth of it, shines on the faces of the happy and the unhappy a like. Just as the rain falls on the dry and desolate land, and the green grass. There are a few things in life, that we are all given. The same hour, in the same day, the same minute that tikes away at the same exact seconds of our lives. What makes one mans day better than the others? Nothing. If we are measuring it by what we have. Or what we think we're worth. Nothing. At all. But a mans life isn't measured by what he fills his days with. The only way to truly measured a mans days is not by what he does, but who he 'knows'. The things that make us happy in this life last only for a day and kicky passes away. But true happiness comes from knowing the MAKER. The one who makes the sun to shine everyday without fail. The One, who's love is unending. The One who gave his only Son, to take away the sins of the world. Knowing HIM, is the only thing that brings us true happiness and joy, at the end of the day. Its this simple feeling. One that you feel when you lay your head to rest on your pillow at night. All the while knowing everything will be alright no matter what may be wrong. Peace in knowing no matter how heard the wind may blow heaven stands. When the sun goes down. ;)
