This girl is a miracle. This morning we heard this story of one of our nurses. She previously worked as a domestic worker for a lady who was not a believer, but had great wealth. To encourage her, she gave her a birthday card with the scripture;
Deut 18:17-18
17 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” 18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
The lady never commented on it or mentioned it.
When our nurse fell pregnant, the woman told her to either have an abortion or lose her job. She decided to keep the baby and the woman fired her without paying her wages she still owed her for the month.
Now its 2015, she receives a payment from this lady, but 10 times as much as was owed. Thinking this was a mistake, she phoned the lady to tell her. It wasn't a mistake.
After she had been fired, the woman and her husband moved to J'burg, he lost his job, they were going through financial struggle and problems in their family. She found her birthday card with the scripture that was written years ago. It made her and her husband think they might need more in their life. This couple is now attending church and felt like they need to thank our nurse by repaying her.
We thanked God for this little miracle of a girl, whose life was spared through a courageous decision years ago. God is good, all the time. Even if it takes 5 years.
The new Jubilee Health Centre is great, but God is greater. We are settling in nicely and patients seem to love the new accomodation.
