Continuation…
After the
hospital visit we managed to reach the church early. Seated at the second to
the last row, I was thinking how money had great effect in our lives after
seeing a mother’s peace of mind and contentment. Her dream for her son had finally
come true. Her son finally was able to support them and his family. Mother had
placed her hopes with his son. I just prayed that she would be thankful to God
for such blessing of peace of mind through him.
While in
this state, my eyes was looking at the church youth practicing their part on
praise and worship when a church worker approached me and had managed to sell
two sachet organic coffee which I do not intend to use but bought it because of
the sympathy I had for him. I know he needs money badly too and had been
placing his hope for survival with God. I do not have much but is willing to
share a little. He lived a very basic and simple life but a smile would never
go out of his face. Often times in his testimony, he would say God had never
failed him.
He and
another church worker asked me to give an inspirational song before the message
of the night was given. I also give in to that. Totally unprepared, my heart
prepared the song for me and before I was able to sing the song the church
Pastor announced the need for the church electrical wiring replacements and my
brother in Christ – Steven gave a testimony being under a great challenge in
life at the moment then I knew right then and there why my heart chose the
song.
It was
titled “ Great Is Thy Faithfulness”
Great
is Thy faithfulness, Oh, God my Father.
There
is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou
changes not Thy compassion they failed not.
To Thy
great faithfulness, Lord unto me.

In every
aspect of nowadays life, Money has a great involvement… may it be personal,
family, church and others. But there is a realization on one aspect that money
cannot provide, the ability to move on with our lives when we place our HOPES
to GOD.
