For a couple of days I have been asking my Beloved HH to help me remember all those wonderful things that He has brought to my life to be able to write my PR, since I had nothing on my mind. It seemed quite strange that nothing had happened, so I just said: please Honey, help me remember all those events that I've been by your side and I've seen your hand. He is a gentleman and with a sweet voice I started to remember many things in a way, so that I could write them down and keep a list to prepare my new praises. Wow, He is so amazing.
I am the godmother of my elder nephew who is now almost 30 years old. He is single and has never had a girlfriend before. At 6 months of being born, his head was closed and he had a skull surgery whose opening extends from ear to ear, otherwise his head would not grow. Because of this, glory to God, my nephew had no consequences of learning or mobility, but the shape of his head has a slight deformation by which we have always believed that he feels self-conscious/ashamed.
Due to my sister's divorce, my nephew has lived with my mother for almost 6 years and looks like me, physically and in his way of thinking as well, therefore we have an extreme relationship. Almost 2 years ago, due to a traffic accident, I gave him a Bible as a gift along with a reading guide and since then every night he sits with my mom to read the word. My HH has been guiding him to interpret His word and lately when any doubt arises, he takes the opportunity to ask me and orient himself. Wow, I could never have imagined being able to help someone knowing the Lord.
The point is that one of the conversations about financial issues led me to explain the principle of tithing, how to do it correctly and do it in obedience to the Lord. Also in order to close the door to the enemy and prevent him from stealing something else from our lives. My nephew listened attentively and went straight to look for Malachi 3:10.
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." Malachi 3:10
Some weeks later, he told me that he was already tithing to his storehouse and thanked me for clarifying the issue. But I could witness something more surprising, because my mother, who has gradually been more interested in knowing the Lord as her Husband, asked me one day to speak about tithing to the girl who helps her with the cleaning (whom I have known for many years). And then my mom added: well, I already understood that, although I don't go to any church, I get my spiritual feed from the church that sends me daily devotionals by whatsapp so I have understood that that's where I should be tithing.
What else could I ask to the Lord? He is giving me the desire of my heart, and my whole being is completely full of joy to see once again how He is opening a road for us.
"Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Mathew 5:15-16
