Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Listening to God's Voice


--by rrkh7, posted Jun 17, 2007
Several years ago, while on the job, I heard one of my co-workers saying that even after we would get our paycheck on that Friday, she would not have enough money left to buy groceries for her two boys and herself.  (Like me, she was a single mom at the time.)

When we got our paychecks that Friday, I counted up all my bills and had $30 left for my two children and myself, to last till the next week's paycheck.  God told me to give her $20 of my $30, but a part of me worried, "What will I do for my two children?"  Well, I listened to my inner voice and placed a $20 bill in an envelope, sealed it and put it in her van driver's seat, without her knowing it (to this day, she still doesn't know where it came from!).

About two years later, I needed money "very badly" and had been praying for the Lord's help and when I went out to my car one day, there was an envelope in the driver's seat of my car.  It had $50!

God is faithful to those who take the time to listen to that subtle voice inside us.

You hear of missionaries telling the story that they'd go to the mailbox and would have a check for their exact amount needed. One day i got a money order in the mail with my name spelled correctly and a $100 money order with no name typed. Another day a woman came up to me in church who i only knew by sight and handed me a $100 check and said god told her to give it to me. That covered another need i had. Praise god for using us to bless others.

Thanks a lot for sharing a small act of kindness done in a wonderful manner. Your help strengthened faith in god of the lady whom you helped. When you were badly in need of money god managed to return your money with simple interest back to you. This might have further strengthened your faith in god. May god bless you with the strength to listen to your inner voice and help those who are in need?

Have a nice time --jagdish kaviraj
