THE PRIEST WHO STOLE 500 PESOS
A couple invited a Priest from their Church for dinner in their home. After the Priest left, the woman said to her husband;
" I think the Priest has stolen the 500 pesos that I kept on the table of which I had the intention to give him".
Angrily her husband exclaimed; " if he takes peoples' things without their knowledge then he is a thief''.
There is no need to invite him again. We shall from henceforth be attending service in another church".
Two months later, the woman met the Priest in the street and was courageous enough to face him and said: " Good morning Father , you have surely realised that we no longer attend service in your church. This is because we're very angry with you. The day you ate in our house, there was a 500 pesos note on the table. It disappeared while we were eating. You were the only person who visited our house at that time". The priest said to her, "yes, I took the money. I put it in the Bible to avoid spilling the sauce on it". The woman got so confused and asked the priest to forgive her.
Back in her house, she took up the Bible and found the 500 pesos note which had been there for two months.
For two months, she had not opened her Bible to reflect on the word of God,
For two months she and her husband falsely accused the priest,
For two months, the incident had tortured them.
Are you not at peace with yourself, for any reason whatsoever?
Is it because you have not opened your Bible for a long time?
READ YOUR BIBLE EVERYDAY.
