Hello Child Of God,
Recently, I came across a story of a well celebrated western actress who committed suicide, and a lot others who we may think that all is really rosy for them.
After reading a few stories, I was reminded of a true life event that occurred many years back of a young boy who after church services will go out for evangelism with his father who pastored a church in the town they lived in.
On a rainy saturday which his father had set aside for evangelism, The young boy dressed up and picked his little bag that contained his bible and tracts, He went to his father's side to ask if he wasn't going to go out, His father told him that the weather was probably not fair enough and that they could go the next day after service. He insisted that he would love to go and will take an umbrella.
His father hesitated but permitted him, instructing him to stop at a particular area and return home. He set of and shared a few tracts to some persons on the road running to take shelter. He stopped by at a house, and after a while, an aged man opened and seeing a little boy, He asked what he wanted and the young child said he wanted to share the good news, the aged man told him to go. He pressed on, amused by the young man's courage, He invited the young boy in and he in a matter of time, He spoke about God to him, and told him how much He was loved by God. The aged man cried but the little boy did not understand why. He gave him the tract, thanked him and left.
The next day, after the father's sermon. The aged man walked to the altar and testified of how he was about to hang himself in his living room just before he heard the knock on the door, He said that he was surprised because he hardly had any visitor, especially at that very time, He opened the door out of curiosity and heard the news that changed his life.
At that moment, The pastor rushed to where his young son was seated and hugged him in tears.
Dearly beloved, the demise of a person is not a thousand miles away from where you are but around the corner. Do not walk around with the light in you without sharing it.
No Excuses
Because we can do more.
#Share your story.
God bless you.
