A well-known writer, Seymour Johansson, recalls a touching story in an interview.
One day in 1715, Johansson followed his grandfather to the church to pray as usual.
When his grandfather bent his back to pray,
at the moment when he took off his shirt,
a few coins fell from his shirt pocket and made a slight sound.
Obviously, his grandfather, who was focused on praying, did not notice the coins falling.
However, a strange man next to him saw it.
While everyone was focusing on praying,
he quickly picked up the coins and put them in his pocket.
Then he hid them in a corner of the church.
Everything that happened in front of me was clearly seen by me,
but I did not make a sound.
When my grandfather finished praying,
I whispered in my grandfather's ear what had just happened.
When my grandfather heard what had happened,
he smiled and his face became calm and kind.
He put his body down and whispered in my ear,
Dear child, please do not tell anyone about this,
and do not tell anyone who found the coins,
because I do not want to know.
But I hope you can remember who he is.
When I was young, I refuted,
Grandpa, your money has been taken away,
and it happened in the church.
He is a thief.
How can he pray in the church?
When my grandfather interrupted me,
his face became calm and kind.
He told me seriously,
Dear child, please think about it from another perspective.
If a person did such a thing in the church,
his situation must be very difficult,
and his heart must be more painful.
We must not judge such a person decisively.
In front of God, we are all children who have made mistakes,
but it does not affect us to become children of God in the future.
We must not judge a person
because of a few coins.
In the future,
my grandfather asked me to secretly give him a bag of daily necessities every month,
but did not let him know who gave it to him.
As time went by,
he moved to a small town.
Many years later,
my grandfather passed away,
and I grew up.
I spent a good childhood in the church,
but because of the lack of financial support,
my life became miserable.
Until one day,
a businessman gave a lot of money
to expand the church in the small town
and renovate it.
This century-old church
was reborn
and became more dignified and sacred.
The people of the small town
are very grateful to the one who made contributions to the small town.
Until the day when the new church was finished,
the donor came into the vision of the people.
At a glance,
I recognized the donor.
He was the one who took my grandfather's coin
and the one we have always helped.
I was surprised to see him
looking at the podium.
The speaker told everyone
a story about the coin.
When I was most desperate in my life,
it was in this small town
that the messenger of God
gave me great help
and comfort
to help me get out of trouble and despair.
I am grateful to the old man and the child
who saved my life
with their kindness.
Although the child recognized me at that time,
they chose to keep the secret for me
until today.
Because once,
I found the secret
That was the most difficult day of my life.
They not only helped me selflessly,
but also protected my self-esteem.
Today,
I can't forget this kind town
and I can't forget this church.
I want to leave the most beautiful church
In order to commemorate his contribution to the town,
people engrave his name
in the most important place of the church.
However,
the last engraved name
is actually my grandfather.
There is a famous saying
in the four 17 chapters of the Book of Acts.
If a person knows to do good,
but does not do it,
this is his sin.
This story tells us
kindness is a quality,
virtue,
and strength.
It is like a light.
You don't know who will walk out of the darkness
