ARE YOU GOD'S WIFE?

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!
