I have a soul [Acte 16 v31]

The musical Les Miserables is a wonderful yet sad story,written by Victor Hugo,the Main character in it is a man called Jean  Valjean.He had served
19years on the chain gang,for stealing a loaf of bread,he is granted a ticket of leave,but is rejected by society.Starving and homeless he is befriended by a Bishop,who takes him in feeds him and puts him up.Jean steals silver plates ,is caught and brought back to the Bishop,who says he gave him the
silver,he then gives him,two extra silver candlesticks.Later on Jean is heard
saying,as regards the Bishop,'he told me I had a soul'. Think about those
words,for they challenge so much that this world and the Devil, would like us to forget.They tell us that man shall not live by bread alone,but by every
word that comes from the mouth of God[Matthew 4v4]It reminds us that we may gain the whole world,at the cost of our soul.[Matthew 16 v26]The most precious thing that we have is our souls,and yet we sell for the price of a....
you finish that,and then ask yourself is it worth it?.
                                       A  prayer.
 Dear God when you created us we became not just a living body,but a living soul,help us to see how vital that is,and that it is of the greatest importance,that we do not loose out eternal soul,help us to turn to Jesus,turning from our sins and ask Him to save us Amen.
