During my working life with you I have seen all types of media telling their story regarding wars and major events in the world. I have spent my time in trousers, shirts and even on a bed side tables. I have been able to put my own slant on stories gathered around the world. Having money in my pocket has been exciting to gather. When the day ended, I was jammed full.
With a lot of thought, I have been able to select an amount of money to publish what I wanted to share. I have been able to report about the devastation and starvation of children.
The company I work for is grateful because I have earned so much money.
Everything will be okay. The public will have fund-raising events. With this help and without my help, everything will be apples.
Oh no! Not another phone call. It’s singing that same old song “Give them all to Jesus.” I'm going to bury myself deep so I don't hear that annoying song.
“Hello,” a robotic voice blurted on loud speaker.
“I have got to hear this!”
William leapt to see.
“Yes, we have a job for you to report on a story, in a faraway land. Would you like to go? “
A hand went to grab me.
“Again, I can make more money.”
“You will have to share a room.”
William was in doubt about sharing a room. The two men climbed into their separate beds. On the other side of the second bed was another like me on the table.
“Hey, you there, I feel sick,” William whispered.
“No wonder,” said Peter, “Look at yourself, you are so packed full, you will have to give some of that money away.”
“Oh no, I couldn't, I need it to earn money for our company. Anyway, I cannot give money away. Now you have made me sicker.”
The phone rang at that very moment. “Give them all to Jesus” it played.
“Oh be quiet, “said William, frustrated. “
Hello,” Spoke a stern voice.
“Yes, there has been another tragedy. People cannot get through on the roads because of a land slide. Children are without food.”
Oh no, they want money from me again. I am not going to. Anyway what has Jesus got to do with it? William thought, quite disturbed.
The phone hung up. William was so disturbed; he felt sicker. “Oh no; what am I going to do.”
“Do you want some help?” Peter asked.
“You see William, the problem is not just being sick, it is because you look so guilty and you know that there is something you must do.”
“Oh thanks very much, I don't need you to tell me,” William said, obviously offended.
“It is a heart problem. You see when you are nice, soft and ready to give what God wants you to give; then, you will feel better. You do not have to give everything, unless God directly says you should. Opening your heart to him and let him be the judge how much you can give will help your release and the enclosure you find yourself in.”
The next morning, the man that owned William, brought a new wallet with him. Because Williams’ heart was soft and was opened the money went into the new wallet.
William had become New William. The old William had gone. It was thrown out into the trash can.
Peter saw it. He jumped for joy.
“What happened?” Said Peter to new William.
“Oh, I kept on thinking about that song “Give them all to Jesus.” “The words of the song were going around in my head. I realized I had been hanging on to a lot, not just my money but also my heart to Jesus. I prayed for Jesus to come into my heart. Now I have a new life. I am a new William.” He said with happiness in his heart.
“Oh, that is so wonderful New William.” The two men picked up Peter and new William. They left for the landslide to see how God could use them.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
