Few days back I was chatting with a brother who is known to me about the importance of faithfulness in Christian living. I said to him, we are faithful in giving offerings and faithful in doing ministries too. But we forget to be faithful in the temporary worldly matters and told him an incident happened in my life sometimes ago. He was surprised…
One day the front mirror of my car was broken. It seems like some stone hit the mirror, so I called my mechanic and asked him to change the mirror. He seen my insurance policy and said the mirror can be replaced freely. I am also feel happy, because in the last 20 years, I never used my insurance even once.
Few hours later, my car mechanic came back to me with an insurance form. The form is filled and he told me to just sign the form. I took the form and read it fully. It was written in that form that while I was driving the car, a flying stone hit the mirror and the mirror is broken
I said to my mechanic, brother, it’s true that the mirror is broken, But I don’t know how and when it was broken. Then how can I write like this and sign the form.
My mechanic said, we can’t get insurance claim if the mirror is broken by hitting of stone, while car is not running and said we have to write this way only. I said to him, If I write something which I don’t know then it became a lie and I tore the insurance form and settled the account by giving Rs.12,000 from my hand.
While we go to heaven our Lord must welcome us happily saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant, since you have been trustworthy with a small amount”. There is a possibility for us to lose heaven, if we are not faithful in the little. We may go to heaven without a car. But a “lie for car insurance” may separate us from heaven. Also will destroy us by removing from a fruitful life.
“Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom.” Song of Solomon 2:15
