Towards the end of 2001,
I met a woman named Lucy who was from
another Church. She saw how her Church sorely needed more Bible teachers. So
she prayed that God will send them some. She then met a friend of mine who
turned out to be living in the same condo building where her Church was holding
its services. Lucy invited him to teach the Bible in her Church and he
accepted. That friend later contacted me and asked me to help him. I was
jobless at the time and, rather than moping over my lot, I wanted to use my
tons of free time in serving God. So I agreed to help him.
Little did I know that in
helping this man, I myself was to receive the greatest blessing in my life
second only to Jesus Christ.
The first time I set my
eyes on Lucy, I was attracted to her beauty and intellect. Later, she got
assigned to my Bible Study group. I was becoming more and more interested in
her. Lucy would later tell me that her heart was drawn to me through the way I
conducted those Bible Studies.
Before she set my eyes on
me, Lucy had her share of suitors. Yet she didn’t choose to
marry for the sake of getting married. She was particularly choosy as to the
character of her man. That she was getting along in years didn’t force her to
lower her standards or to compromise. She kept waiting on the Lord. Now her waiting
was about to end. So was mine.
