A few
months ago someone shook my hand after one of our church services and I felt
something other than her hand in my hand. When I looked down at my palm I saw
that the paper substance which she had transferred to my hand was money. The
amount of money was more than just 20 or 30 dollars. In fact, it was more than
just 100 dollars.
The
person who shook my hand said, “Give this to someone who is in need.”
I
said, “Alright. Thank you, I will do that.”
This
kind person was not looking for applause. She wasn’t looking to have her name
mentioned in a service or an online post. In fact, it is clear her desire was
to remain invisible. She was responding to God’s leading in her heart.
About
a week later I became aware of a need and I gave this money to the person in
need.
This
person was extremely grateful for the help. She was simply telling me about
some struggles, she was not expecting this form of assistance.
At
first she said, “Oh no Dan, I couldn’t accept this much money from you.”
I
said, “It’s not from me. I’m not the source of this money, someone else is.”
The
woman said, “Who? Who is giving me this money?”
I thought
about it for a moment and then I told her the truth: “God is.”
“And my
God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in
Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
