ARE YOU GOD'S WIFE?
How you respond to others…matters.
One cold wintry day a
10-year-old boy was standing barefoot in front of a shoe store, peering through
the window, and shivering with cold. An
elderly lady approached the boy and asked what he was doing.
“I was just asking God to
give me a pair of shoes,” the boy replied.
The lady took him by the
hand and went into the store, and asked the clerk to get a half dozen pairs of
socks for the boy. She then asked if he
could provide a basin of water and a towel. The clerk knew the lady quite well, so he
immediately brought them to her. She then
took the boy to the back part of the store, knelt down, washed his little feet
and carefully dried them with a towel.
Placing a pair of the socks
on the boy’s feet, she then purchased him a pair of new shoes, tied up the
remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him with a loving smile. She patted the young boy on the head and asked,
“No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?”
As she turned to go, the
astonished lad caught her by the hand.
Looking up in her face with tears in his eyes, he answered her question with
an innocent one of his own: “Are you God’s wife?”
Life always affords us opportunities
to be channels of blessings for others.
We might not have the financial resources to contribute much in the way
of tangible gifts to others, but we can always give of our time and our
talent. Why not make the wise and
wondrous decision to be the extended hands and feet of GOD?
Sisters and brothers, be continually
blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON
COMING KING. Maranatha!
