Morning Thought 3
Wednesday April 26th 2017 (Gift of Windows)
I looked with great pleasure at the photo of the
doors and windows fitted in the half finished building. Wow what an amazing
gift!
As you may know Mustard Seed is working on a
building project called Changed Lives, this final building will offer 2 additional
accommodation units, shared washing and laundry facilities for up to 25 once
homeless people on the site, some living in portercabins
and some in our converted aid trailers.
After Christmas Nelu the
social worker said he was approaching the building company to ask if they would
help us and give us the windows and doors at a reduced price and asked if we in
Jersey could pray for this. I told him whatever discount the Romanian company would
give us would be fantastic.
I was not prepared for the email I had 2 months
ago – Nelu wrote: “I have good news, the building
company say they will GIVE us the windows and fit them. Thanks be to God”.
What amazing generosity!
So when I see the photos of the not yet finished
building with the doors and windows fitted it reminds me this answer to prayer
was way beyond my expectations.
Why was the Romanian company so generous? I have
no idea, but I know we had prayed before Nelu asked
them for discount. And needless to say since we’ve heard that great news we
have most certainly prayed again thanking God.
Can I encourage you to pray for what you need,
even if it seems impossible. Sometimes God
answers Yes. Sometimes the answer is Not Yet. Sometimes the answer is No
because God has something better in store for us. But in my experience I have
found that always without fail God does answer prayer.
