Today’s Scripture Reading is taken from Proverbs- Chapter 3, Verses 27:
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due when it is in your power to act.
This is the word of the Lord.
Story:
A poor boy was selling goods from one door to another to pay for his studies. One day he found that he had only one dime left, and he was hungry. While approaching the next house, he decided to ask for a meal.
But when a young woman opened the door, he only dared to ask for a glass of water. She looked at him and understood that probably the boy is hungry. So, she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it and then asked how much he owed her. The woman replied: „You don’t owe me anything. My mother taught me never to accept any payment for kindness”.
Then he thanked her from the bottom of his heart and left her. Now he is stronger not only physically, but his faith in God has grown as well. The boy’s name was Howard Kelly.
Many years have passed. One day that woman became seriously ill. Local doctors could not help her. Therefore, they sent her to a big city, where her rare disease would be studied by specialists. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he entered her room in the hospital, he immediately recognized the woman, that showed kindness to him, when he was poor. The doctor was determined to do his best to help her recover from her disease.
The struggle was long, but together they managed to overcome her illness. After some time, the woman received a bill for her treatment. She was worried that the amount to pay would be so significant, that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it. Finally, when the woman looked at the bill, she noticed words that were written on the side of the bill. The words were: “Paid in full with a glass of milk”. It was signed by Dr. Howard Kelly.
Reflection:
He who plants thorns must not expect to gather flowers.
The seeds we sow today determine the kind of fruits we will reap tomorrow.
We are always sowing seeds by everything we say or do, so let’s make sure the fruit we reap comes from the good we do each and every day. When you
make sacrifices to help other people’s dreams come to pass, God will always help make your dream come to pass. As you bless others and show them a favor, God is going to bless and favor you.
Let Us Pray:
O Lord our Heavenly Father! We thank and praise you for this new day you have added to our life. Lord! Help us to be careful about what we sow every day by our words and action. Let us bring glory to your name in all we think, say, and do.
Father, thank You for what You’ve brought us through that we can now use to help others to solve their problems. Thank You that we have something to give, some blessing to impart, to help make their dreams come true. We believe You will also make our dreams come to pass. In Jesus’ Name, Amen”
Let us continue with the Lord’s prayer
