It\u2019s like putting money in a heavenly account. You may not need it today or tomorrow, but when you do, God will ensure it comes back to you in multiplied form.<br \/>\nIndian Christian missionary Sadhu Sundar Singh and a companion were travelling through a pass high in the Himalayas when they found a body lying in the snow. They checked for vital signs and discovered the man was still alive, but barely. As Sundar prepared to stop and help this unfortunate traveller, his companion objected, saying, \u2018We shall lose our lives if we burden ourselves with him.\u2019 Sundar, however, couldn\u2019t comprehend leaving the man to die in the snow without an attempt at rescue. His companion bade him farewell and walked on. Sundar lifted the traveller on his back and, with great exertion \u2013 made greater by the high altitude and snowy conditions \u2013 carried him onwards.<br \/>\nAs he walked, the heat from his body began to warm the frozen man. He revived, and soon they were walking together side by side, holding each other up and sharing body heat. Before long, they came upon another traveller\u2019s body lying in the snow, and on closer inspection, they discovered he was dead. You guessed it. It was Sundar\u2019s original travelling companion!<br \/>\nSo, what\u2019s the lesson in all this? What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you! <\/p>\n<p><strong>Quote of the week <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/49_Eph_06_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1584\" height=\"1584\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/49_Eph_06_08.jpg 1584w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/49_Eph_06_08-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/49_Eph_06_08-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/49_Eph_06_08-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/49_Eph_06_08-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/risen.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/49_Eph_06_08-624x624.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1584px) 100vw, 1584px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Give Us Your Heart Lord featuring Lucy Stimpson- Maynard from the album Where Would I Be Without You? recorded and produced by Ross Gill I recently read this in the \u201cWord For Today\u201d and thought it worth sharing.
