God's image


A poor woman with a baby wrapped around her back, was selling chicken feet next to churches in township streets, which were full of church goers. And all her church going customers would bless her with good wishes, telling her that: one day God will finish her misery once and for all. Per day she single-handedly fed a family of five, out of daily profit of fifty bucks. Until one day, when a fashionable thug saw her under an umbrella, in heavy rain doing what she normally do for survival. The thug fell down on his knees and loudly cried dropping a bag full of money before her, “Stop what you're doing, take the bag and go” He said. The woman opened the bag, and happily said “Can all praise be unto you my God, church goers have been telling me about you, that one day you going to come and end my misery once and for all, I wasn't aware that one day could be today." A thug was called GOD! Then from that day, that woman and her family couldn't be once more noticed around those township streets. And that thug was asked by his friends, that, why did he gave his money away when it was hardly fought for? He said if he at least had a parent just like her, he would have never turned into a life of crime. Moral of the story is simple: God wants us to prove Godship on his behalf by wearing his face and his love. How quick are we into verbal blessing those who're less fortunate with a fake sympathy? Yes we can form ministries by a blasphemous truth only to accomplish our desires, but the honest stretch of God's hand (a helping person), can lead billions and billions of people to heaven. Don't we feel degraded, when we lose help-seekers to darkness due help they received from evil doers? We're God's image! Help should be only found in Christians, so we can clearly differentiate between good and evil; satanic and godly. That thug couldn't be a thief if parenthood's responsibility was not only found in blood testing. And that woman couldn't have left that location if she got help from church. Have people yet seen God in you, the same way the poor woman seen God in the thug? Have you yet seen the potential in poor people, the same way the thug felt about the woman's parenting? By ignorance we push people away from realizing God. We should be God's image first, for God's kingdom to be on earth as it is in heaven.
