GOD WILL SURPRISE YOU, IF YOU SOW FAITHFULLY   Once again, we begin to walk the path of the New Year ahead; a new stage of life opens up to the good wishes and our hopes to achieve our goals in the coming 12 months. Naturally, at the beginning of the New Year, every person has the wish of attaining a better life and improving their situation. I want to take this opportunity to humbly make some suggestions that will - and I guarantee this - yield good results and will certainly lay the foundation to continue to do so in the coming years. I have done this for a long time and as a result God has been good to me and my family. The Apostle Paul reveals the secret of the good results "remember this, whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:6-7). Sowing is a process that begins with the preparation of the soil so that the selected seed may be planted, cared for, fertilized and watered to obtain a good result. According to the scripture, the Lord promises to provide an abundance of blessings that allow us to even help others from our excess.

The girl thought that he might be hungry, so she gave him a big glass of milk. He drank slowly and then hesitantly asked, how much do I owe you? She said, "nothing” adding that her mother taught her not to ask anything in exchange for an act of kindness. The boy said, thank you from the bottom of his heart. When Howard Kelly left that house that day, he not only felt more physically recovered, but with a stronger faith in God and humankind. Years later, that young girl became seriously ill. The doctors in her town were bewildered. She was finally sent to the nearest city, where a specialist was called to study her strange illness. The doctor on call was Dr. Howard Kelly. He immediately recognized the woman as the lovely girl who was merciful to him long ago and set to do his best to save her life. After a long fight for her life, she won the battle. Dr. Kelly asked the hospital…
