Topic: Our Noble And Kind Acts Are Much More Effective Often Times Than The Ritualistic Works We Do Routinely In The Name Of Christ!
Mt. 5:44 : Love your enemies, bless those who hate you, and pray for those despitefully use you and persecute you...
It's much easier to say than to put it into action, candidly speaking.
It's very difficult but not impossible if you hear this true story.
There were two women who had an argument in a church meeting. One of the the women (name changed), Louis during the course of the argument behaved very harshly and hurt the other person, Evangeline.. Within one week of that incident, the woman, who behaved very harshly with Evangeline met with a severe accident and both her legs were so severely affected, doctor said, "She has to remain in the bed for at least two years."
Louis was devasted, broken and crestfallen lying in the hospital....
The next day early morning when she got up from sleep, she found in her room beautiful and attractive 'flowers bouquet,' with kind words. "Smile! You are precious! Jesus Loves you! I love you too!"
Louis was baffled, suprised and amazed to see such a kind, sweet wonderful act by someone.
It happened every day for almost for almost more than 6 months even after she was discharged and came home..
She began to change within because she saw God's divine love and kindness in the act from 'source unknown'. "It's the comfort of unknown angel" she exclaimed!
Later on when she came to know it's none other than Evangeline whom she insulted humiliated and ill treated her. She was in tears.. Tears of joy, comfort and she was strengthened.
She immediately calls for Evangeline, asks for forgiveness and says, "I behaved so rudely with you..But you repayed not with vengeance and hatred, but with supernatural compassion and kindness. You are an angel sent by God in times of grief and depression." Well, Louis repents and transforms completely.
God blessed Evangeline abundantly in her ministry and blessed her richly financially. And she became a house hold name for her true love, compassion and generosity.
With whom are you struggling in your relationship? Struggling to love and forgive?
Have a blessed and joyful time!πππ
