A new week has come upon us ladies and gentlemen *smiles. Hope it has been restful tho. I need to share a sister's testimony with y'all, so you know there is a blessing that comes with giving. So many people always want to get, get and keep getting, they just would never give,Never. They forget that even the good book talked about giving, sharing all you have, the good samaritan.
A sister shared this: I had a job that was paying less than sixty thousand, I lived far from my work place, I barely survived, I had siblings to assist, parents to assist too and of course few friends who merely understood that I had a lot of responsibilities with very little, but I still had to give a helping hand, no matter how little. My job wasn't the best of the jobs, but I persevered, starved myself of a lot of goodies, applied for jobs, talked to people and prayed it came through. Then, on one of the days I was just calculating my money, 'cos I had my boss' friend visit the office and handed me an envelope, just when I was about to share and pay in some into my account and get myself a pair of shoes, a jean and a loose top I saw on my way home the previous day, a call came through and it was my very good friend, from her tone, I figured, something was up, so I asked what was wrong, and she told me of an interview slated for the next day which she had to attend, apparently she got the text few minutes before she called me, she was so full of tears and needed some amount to get herself a pair of shoe because she had none that was presentable, kai, at that point I was caught between, Yes I'll send to your account now or No, I don't have. With a long sigh, I asked for her account number, dashed out of the office immediately and paid it in, it was almost 4pm at the time. When I paid in, I was happy I did, she called and thanked me, few hours later, Mummy P as I call her mum, called and rained blessings on me. And that was it o. A week later, I got a mail from a company I applied to, months ago, and was invited for an interview. I prayed and went for it, unlike other companies where I have to write series of tests, face different interviews, it was different, I got in, was ushered into an office, I merely introduced myself when someone cut me in and asked my philosophy of life and I simply said: "give all without resentment and receive blessings in abundance".......and that was it. People talk about miracles, when they tell me how things turned around for them, it sounds a bit shady but with mine I can proudly tell you that Miracles do happen, in its "odd" form. I have a good job, with good satisfaction, oh yea plus I don't have to calculate my salary and starve (you know what that means right?). Before I forget, my friend got the job too. Blessings upon blessings. Patience does it all. Generosity can be a blessing in disguise. Kindness is divine. Give and you shall receive in abundance", and that's my testimony.
Touching. ...soooo touching. Im inspired

ReplyDeletegive and be blessed, give and it shall be given unto you, blessed are those who give, givers never lack.
ReplyDeletehmmmmm... it's really more blessed to give than to receive. Your testimony just inspired me more to give.
