Dear Ladies,
Welcome to June!
A few days ago, I saw a post on social media, and it
got me thinking so I decided to share it with you.
It was a story of a group of salesmen who were at
an airport and running to catch their flight. One
of them bumped into a stall and knocked down a
display of apples. However, as the apples scattered
everywhere, no one stopped. They kept running
as they were almost missing their flight. Then one
of them stopped and turned around. He knew
that going back to do the right thing would mean
missing his flight. He called out to his friends and
told them he would be on a later flight and then he
went back to help the seller gather her apples. Just
then he noticed for the first time that the seller was
a young girl of about 16 years and she was blind.
The poor girl was in tears as she struggled to gather
her apples. People walked past but no one stopped
to help her. The man got down and began to help
her gather the apples. Some had been destroyed so
he set those apart and then rearranged her display.
When he was done he gave her some money for the
damaged apples and apologized for the pain he and
his colleagues had caused her. When he turned to
go, the girl asked if he was Jesus. He was surprised
but admitted that he was not. Then he went on to
say that Jesus was kind and gentle and would never
have bumped into her display in the first instance.
The girl nodded in agreement and then added, “I
asked because I had asked Jesus to help me gather
the apples.” Now that obviously explains why she
thought the man was Jesus. When she prayed,
Jesus sent that man. He may not have been the
first or only person sent but he was the one who
responded. It wasn’t convenient, but he responded.
It wasn’t his doing, but
he responded. Then
I asked myself a
crucial question,
“Eturuvie,
if
that had been
you, would Jesus
have counted on
you to miss that
flight, and go
back to represent
Him?” My answer
made me realise
that I have a long
way to go to properly
represent Jesus on the
earth.
This is DOZ Issue 32, June 2018, and it is loaded
with inspirational articles to uplift you in your
purpose walk.
Our DOZ That Inspire You, for this issue is, Hope
LeNoir. She is an amazing woman who helps men
and women rise from the ashes and fly, much like
the Phoenix. Hope lost her mother to cancer when
she was only seven months, and as she grew older,
a desire to understand why she was still here led to
the discovery of her purpose and a journey to help
others uncover theirs. Her interview is a must-read.
“DOZ Chronicles: Kemi” concludes in this issue.
We hope you it has been an inspiration to you
whatever your circumstances might be.
I look forward to seeing you same time next month.
Blessings!
