Check 1015

This check went to Africa to help keep a young teenage boy stay in school. He was threatening to be kicked out if he could not pay the remaining $410 left on the balance. A $410 that like many of us, he did not have. I prayed. Asking God to mold me into a person that could help this boy attend school. All it would take is 10 people to give $41 but my bank account only had about double that amount. I wanted to do something, knowing that if I were in his position I would want someone to do the same for me. Being faced with the choice of going to school or being sent to the streets of violence and poverty and have no life for himself. Then I remembered one of my favorite versus. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" Galations 6:9 So i wrote a check for 41$ without thinking twice. Knowing that God would provide for me, and he has. I waited many a week for that check to finally go through. It did last week and my heart filled with joy, knowing that I had done what I could to help. I dont know if he has been able to stay in school, but I do know he has a GOD that cares for him, that lead others to walk His path and provide for this precious boy. In the midst of my joy, it didnt take me long to realize that I was giving all this joy to my selfish self rather than to the one that led me to this duty and gave for me as I gave for someone else. I even went as far as posting it all over facebook that ID helped send a boy to school. Im thankful that God cleanses me of my sins. Because that indeed was not anything I did, nor was it my work. It was Gods work. Praise be to his name.
