I Have Two Rings One That Is Made Of Gold And I ...
Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Sep 1, 2009 (message contributor)
I have two rings one that is made of Gold and I can guarantee that it is, it has 9 carat stamped inside it. I even meet the Jeweler that made it and it contains his makers symbol / the other is pretty cool it has a lions head on it and it looks like gold and has a number 2 stamped inside it came in with a box of bits and pieces that I found out by the rubbish skip. I think that it is probably brass or bronze.
Now which one would you choose?
Well I can’t give you the gold ring because it signifies something of far more value than the ring.
How often in life do people settle for the bronze? When it comes to being in God’s presence we often settle for the bronze, however some never even get close to the bronze that’s for another talk though.
