A couple of weeks ago, a refugee lady asked me for a sewing machine. She thought I had given others one and left her out, so her feelings were a little hurt. I explained to her that I didn’t have one, but that I would pray to Jesus to give me a sewing machine for her soon. So I did pray for a sewing machine for her. A few days later, a volunteer told me she had a sewing machine she didn’t need and thought one of our students perhaps could use it. I told her about my prayer. Of course Jesus answered my prayer, and so quickly! Today I helped that sweet volunteer present the machine to that student. I reminded her that I had prayed to Jesus for a sewing machine for her. The volunteer told her that Jesus asked her to give the sewing machine to answer my prayer, and that we both said “thank you, Jesus, for answering our prayer.” Now our prayer is that Jesus will make himself and his truth known to this lady through this sewing machine. Thank you, Jesus, that you love us enough to care about even small things in our lives, like sewing machines, and for letting us be part of your work in our world.
