A young man was on his way to visit a sick brother.
He sat in a bus quietly wondering what was making his brother’s sickness get
worse. His mind was full of many disturbing thoughts. Unexpectedly, he heard
the spirit telling him to preach about forgiveness. He looked around and found
some young girls giggling in the bus. He thought to himself, if I start
preaching, those girls are going to make fun of me. So he decided not to do it.
The spirit kept prompting him, and then he finally said to himself: this is certainly
not the time. An appropriate time will come for this message. The Holy Spirit
was therefore ignored. In the middle of the journey, the bus stopped and a lady
got down furiously and he automatically knew the message was to that lady. He
felt so bad after, but the opportunity was gone. Two weeks after, he was going
to visit a friend when he saw an obituary of the lady who got off the bus with
so much anger. He wept! He kept on asking people around if they knew the lady on the obituary. One middle aged woman told him of how the young lady
had stabbed his irresponsible husband and the husband had stabbed him in
return and she died. Why he asked curiously? The lady caught the husband red-handed
having a sexual affair with another woman. When did this happen he inquired
further? The woman replied; two weeks
ago, sadly the deceased knew nothing about forgiveness she added. The young man
bowed his head in shame. He realized that because he did not obey the spirit to
preach forgiveness, a beautiful soul has been lost. Spread the word; "Forgiveness is love! love is God!"
