In
England, in 1920, there was a graduation ceremony for a batch of new
doctors. It was attended by the British Prime Minister of that time. During the
ceremony, the head doctor who was in charge of that batch, gave the necessary
advice to these new graduates. He told them the following incident which
happened with him sometime back: "It was after midnight, and I heard a
knock on my door. It was an old lady, and she said to me: 'O my doctor, my
child is sick and in a very serious condition, so please do something to save
him. I rushed out to follow her to her house without worrying what will happen.
Because it was a stormy night, and very cold. The rain was pouring down very
heavily. I did not fear for my life. Her house was on the outskirts of London,
and after a difficult journey, we reached her house. She lived in a small room
with her son. When I entered the room, I saw her son at the corner of this room
groaning and deeply in pain.
After
I did my duty towards the sick child, the mother gave me a small bag with
money. I refused to take this bag and I told her gently that I can't accept that
payment, because I felt sorry for their situation. Then I promised her that I
will take care of her child until he gets better." The head doctor continued
in his speech by saying: "This is the true profession of medicine, and
being a doctor is the closest profession to mercy and one of the closest to
God"
As
soon as the head doctor finished his speech, the Prime Minister jumped out of
his seat and headed to the podium. "Permit me Sir, to kiss your
hand. For twenty years now and I am looking for you. I am the child you
mentioned in your story just now. Oh, my mother will be happy now and she will
rest in peace. Her only wish was for me to find you and to reward you, for that
goodness you did for us at the time we were living in poverty."
That
poor child who became the Prime Minister of England was: "Lloyd
George"
From You to God: Lord God, bless me with testimonies in the act
of kindness in Jesus name.
Application: Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as unto the Lord the great
rewarder.
Footnote: Doing acts of kindness must be part of the New Year resolution, that its
testimonies be not missed.
