GOD PUT YOU IN MY WAY


The other day
I heard a story

A Catholic priest
Was telling the story of two travelers
One an African-the other an Egyptian
They did not know each other

The Egyptian encountered some problems
While traveling
And the African
Went out of his way to help

The Egyptian asked:  “Why id you help me?  You don’t even know me.”
The African responded:  “I had to help.  God put you in my way.”

When the Egyptian returned home-he found out
His former fiance’ had encountered some problems
The Egyptian went out of his way
To try and help her

His ex-fiance’ asked:  “Why id you help me?  You don’t even like me.”
He responded:  “I had to help.  God put you in my way.”

It made me think
About who has helped me in my life
Without any thought of ever getting repaid

I wonder if they thought:

“I had to help
God put you in my way”

WHO HAS GOD PUT IN YOUR WAY

Ps        “As for God-his WAY is perfect
              The word of the Lord is flawless
              He is a shield
              For ALL who take refuge in him”                        2 Samuel 22:31

            “The highway of the upright avoids evil
              He who guards his WAY
              Guards his life”                                                     Proverbs 16:17

             “Jesus answered, “I am the Way
              And the truth and the life
              No one comes to the Father
              Except through me”                                                John 14:6
