Matthew

Praise the Lord brother and sister. There was once a devoted mother who poured every ounce of her energy into building a secure future for her only child. Church? Fellowship with other believers? She considered them luxuries she couldn't afford. "Time is money," she would say, "and money is what will give you a good life." So she kept her son away from Sunday services, youth groups, and spiritual gatherings. Instead, she pushed him toward excellence in studies, hard work, and success. "God will understand," she thought. "He knows we have to survive." Years passed quickly. The boy grew into a capable man. He built a thriving business, earned respect, and accumulated wealth—just as his mother had dreamed. She felt proud watching him become everything she had sacrificed for. But in the midst of all the achievements, something vital had been quietly left behind. Then came the day that changed everything. In the prime of his success, her son suffered a sudden, massive heart attack. He collapsed without warning, and despite every effort, he was gone in moments. The silence that followed was deafening. Standing over her son's lifeless body, the mother felt the full weight of the years crash down on her. All those Sundays she had kept him home to study... all the evenings she had discouraged him from joining friends at church... all the times she had said, "Prayers won't pay the bills." She had taught him that money was the ultimate priority, the only real security in life. Now, in the cruelest way, she realized how empty that teaching had been. Tears streamed as regret consumed her. She had not just deprived her child of money—she had deprived him of something far greater: a relationship with God, the peace that surpasses understanding, and the eternal hope that no amount of wealth can buy. Broken and humbled, she made her way to a quiet church. For the first time in decades, she knelt before the God. With a trembling voice, she poured out her sorrow: "Forgive me, Lord. I thought I knew what was best. I thought I was protecting him by keeping him from You. I was wrong. I chose the temporary over the eternal. Please forgive me... and if it's not too late for my soul, let me walk with You from this day forward." In that moment of surrender, she felt something she hadn't known in years: a gentle, forgiving presence. God had been waiting all along. And finally, finding peace in prayer, kneeling in God's presence. The story carries a powerful reminder: Never wait until it's too late. Life is fragile, and time is not promised. God is not just a backup plan for when everything else fails—He is the true source of love, purpose, and eternal security. He loves you more than words can express, and He is always ready to welcome you, no matter how far you've wandered. Choose Him today, while there is still time. He is everything. ❤️
