Valentine Special Edition: Not A Promise, But A Proof

Not A Promise, But A Proof

 

He who is faithful (trusted - NIV) in what is least is faithful trusted) also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. 

Lucas 16:10 - NKJV

Martha Berry built a school for poor children  around 1900. One time, she submitted a sponsorship proposal to Henry Ford, a founder of Ford car and a millionaire. He gave only a small amount of money, but Martha Berry did not complain or got angry. 






 
She used that money to buy seeds, then she motivated those children to plant the seeds at school fields. Those seeds grew very well. First harvest was bought for a piano. From that moment, their school was well-known for self seed-planted.

Need to be acknowledged, Martha Berry has a rare character.

Nowadays, majority of people will complain when they get something unexpectedly. In prayers, it also happen rapidly. Often we say, 

"if  I have wealth like him or her, I will use them wisely."

"If I am in his or her position, I will not do that or this."

Etc...

But..

God sees Faith and Faithfulness not based on what you will do in the future. God is a god who knows our heart and knows what you will do beforehand.

Therefore, does it sound ridiculous if we think we can persuade God with promises that we will do this or that, or if HE gives what we want?

Just prove that you are worthy enough to receive those things.

Prove yourselves to be faithful in small things, so you will receive big things.

 
God Bless You :D

Happy Valentine!
