Faithfullness

I was in NC I had spent all my money on alcohol and speed, my life was spinning outta control and i was outta money no food to eat was losing my home and everything. I went to church with $5 bucks in my pocket trying to hide my emotions, it was time for offering and I was planning on letting the plate pass me by. God had other plans and I broke down crying He wanted me to put in my last $5 and I litterally cried out why??? People around me were people that knew a partial bit of what was going on and new what was going on. I threw it in and just cried...after offering was prayer I ran up fell on my knees and fell on my face begging God to give me a 2nd chance and to save me from the disaster i had created for myself. Someone came up behind me placed an envelope in my hand and just 'vanished' I didn't see them and no one else in the church did either and i wanted to know who it was I took the envelope back to my seat opened it and read it. It said "Be faithful to the Lord and he will be faithful unto you." I was so angry and frustrated i threw it on the floor and stomped on it. Something told me to pick it up and open it so i did and inside was $40 which lasted me 2 weeks to get gas in my car and some food. I tore off the writing part and kept it and the other day i found it again. God has always provided for me even when i have spat in his face cursed him and every thing else He still loved me and took care of me.

With the way our economy is right now and people being laid off from their jobs. I am living testimony that God always provides for our needs. He understands our struggles and He wants to help us all we have to do is ask. I pass on to you a message given to me from above, Be faithful to the Lord and He will be faithful.

  1. Wow, I don't know how to follow that. Other, than I, too, am a recovering addict. It's amazing how God is making me the woman I've always had inside but couldn't see. He never lets me forget where I was and that He was ALWAYS there. He was faithful to me & I too must remain faithful that I will find a job. God will provide.

  2. It amazes me how God uses things to remind us of how He has worked in our life in the past. WOW!! Thank you for being an open book in this way. God may use this to touch others, you may never know what impact this may have on another person-But God does =)
