god promise to disciple
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
God promised a devoted disciple that he would visit her that day. She felt very happy. She started cleaning her house. She mopped, cleaned, polished and scrubbed every nook and corner of the house. Then she sat and waited for God desperately. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. She was very excited to see God standing at her doorstep. When she opened the door, she found a poor hungry old lady asking for alms. She point blank refused to talk to her saying, “Go away, don’t waste my time. I am waiting for someone special. I am waiting for God.” The old, helpless lady left, disappointed.
After some time there was another knock at the door. She opened the door thinking that this time it has got to be God at her door step. To her utter dismay, when she opened the door she saw a beggar standing there. He was looking tired, helpless and hungry. He asked for something to eat. “Don’t waste my time, you old beggar. “The woman replied.” Can’t you see I am expecting to see God any moment now. Go away and come back another day.” She slammed the door at his face. The beggar turned back with tears in his eyes.
There was a third knock at the door. The woman ran to open the door to welcome God. To her surprise, she saw a hungry child standing outside. He was crying and his clothes were torn. The woman lost her temper and scolded the child for ringing her doorbell unnecessarily. Again she slammed the door angrily.
As evening approached, there was no sign of God. She went to bed with a heavy heart. God came in her dream and said “I knocked at your door three times and every time you slammed the door at my face.” The woman was shocked to hear this and repented her behaviour.
Moral God resides in every human being.
