THERE IS BLESSING IN GIVING!! this brought tears to my eyes..
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK AROUND..
He almost didn't see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help.
So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you. He said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson."
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough.
Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk.
The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right
with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped.
Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, "And think of me."
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab abite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her.
The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet personality, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude.
The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a
stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be.
Then she noticed something written on the napkin. There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: "You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you.
If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you."
Under the napkin were four more $100 bills. Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day.
That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next m onth, it was going to be hard.
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her,
she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, "Everything's gonna be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson."
There is an old saying "What goes around comes around."
AND CERTAINLY WHAT YOU SOW IS WHAT YOU REAP..
I BELIEVE THAT EVEN IN THIS HOUR, GOD IS ABOUT TO UNLEASH AND REVEAL HIS GLORY IN THE EARTH REALM, UPON AND THROUGH HIS PEOPLE.
IN HAGGAI 2:9 GOD SAID "THE GLORY OF THE LATTER HOUSE SHALL BE GREATER THAN THE FORMER"
WHEN WE EXAMINE THE EXTENSIVE DETERIORATION AND DEGRADATION OF THE SYSTEMS, STANDARDS AND ELEMENTS IN THE WORLD WE LIVE TODAY, THERE IS NO DOUBT IN OUR MINDS, THAT THERE IS INDEED A GREAT NEED FOR DIVINE INTERVENTION AS NEVER BEFORE.
THEREFORE, THERE IS AN URGENCY IN THIS HOUR, FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD TO DISCARD OUR PERSONAL AGENDAS AND SELFISH AMBITIONS, RISE UP OUT OF SLUMBER AND SLEEP, RISE UP OUT OF OUR MESS AND DISTRESS AND MORE THAN ALL, IT IS TIME FOR THE TRUE WORSHIPERS TO COME FORTH..
ACTS 2:17 AND JOEL 2:28 STATES; "AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THE LAST DAYS," SAITH GOD, "THAT I WILL POUR OUT OF MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH"..
WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE LIVING IN THE LAST HOURS OF THE LAST DAYS AND THE STAGE IS SET FOR THE END-TIME GLORY OF GOD TO BE REVEALED THROUGH/ON THOSE WHO NAME THE NAME OF JESUS, SO THAT WE MAY BECOME EFFECTIVE INSTRUMENTS IN HIS HAND AND CLEAR CHANNELS OF HIS SALVATION, HEALING, DELIVERANCE AND BLESSINGS, THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE EARTH..
WHICH MUST PRECEED HIS AWESOME ANTICIPATED RETURN.. FOR THE WORD DECLARES THAT HE IS COMING BACK FOR A GLORIOUS CHURCH, WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH..
HENCE, I IMPLORE US ALL, TO POSITION OURSELVES TO USHER IN AND RECEIVE THE UNPRECEDENTED END-TIME GLORY!! AND AVAIL OUR SELVES TO SHOW FORTH HIS MARVELOUS WORKS.. THAT THE WORLD MAY COME TO A FULL UNDERSTANDING THAT THE GOD WE SERVE, IS INDEED, THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD.
