Several
years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in houston,
texas. Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his
home to the downtown area.
When he
sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter
too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, “you’d
better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it. Then he thought,
“oh, forget it, its only a quarter. Who would worry about this little
amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it.
Accept it as a gift from god’ and keep quiet.
When his
stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to
the driver and said, “here, you gave me too much change.
The
driver, with a smile, replied, aren’t you the new preacher in town? “yes, he
replied.
“well, i
have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted
to see what you would do if i gave you too much change. I’ll see you at church
on sunday.
When the
preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole,
held on, and said, oh dear heavenly father, i almost sold your son for a
quarter.
Our lives
are the only bible some people will ever read. This is a very inspiring example
of how much people watch us a christians, and will put us to the test!! Always
be on guard and remember you carry the name of jesus christ on your shoulders
when you call yourself “christian.
Watch Your Thoughts: They Become Words..
Watch Your Words: They Become Actions.
Watch You’re Your Action: They Become Habits.
Watch Your Habits: They Become Character.
Watch Your Character: It Becomes Your Identity.
Really Its a Inspiring Example to me..
That's why I am posting this to all readers to be a Real Christian...
