Lesson on Faithfulness

On the 26th of February, I received an email that required my immediate attention. It was related to signing an official document for a brother who is applying for a business visa to India for his official trip. With the aftermath of the recent pandemic, it has been so uncertain of foreign travels and countries' relationship; economic and political. Therefore, the matter was deemed urgent.

Had it not been for its urgency, I could have waited and took the way of  pick-up service from FedEx company, but that would be a day late. I took the burden upon myself and would not take any chances. After finding out FedEx detail in Gurugram, I went by scooty myself to book the document for sending. To my surprise, the road that led to the office was just closed as construction and rennovation works started on that very day I went. After a little hurdle to reach the office I was told the office had already shifted to another location. I was tempted to give up the idea. But the thought of faithfulness took over my mind. And I determined to finished the work I was to do. Come what may, I would still finish the work I set out to do. So I would not budge an inch.

Blocked road, polluted and congested road, I had to brace them all, and searched for the office new location. Finally, I found and send the documents by FedEx. I just felt a sense of joy and relief after the work was carried out. Not to boast nor to pride in, but an accomplished task. I have been grace to be found faithful in what I am assigned to. And I would choose to be faithful, trusting in the Lord's grace in all things.

This little experience may seem trivial, but it is in matter like this that one's character has been put to a test. By all means, I would do my best to pass the test. This is a matter of faithfulness. I'd rather pay any price and be found fatiful than take the easy way. In this too, I learned the lesson of faithfulness. 

Lord, grace me to be faithful in all things by experiencing Your faithfulness.
