REAPING FROM READING

REAPING FROM READING

I do not read as well as you do.  But I have learned 

to read a little bit.  And over the years there have been

so many things that; encourage, inspire, motivate, or

even warn me, that I feel compelled to share some of

it with you.

Mrs Rosalind Goforth in her book,

Jonathan Goforth

mentions how she had an opportunity to see

Jonathan's Bible before they were married.

"Jonathan Goforth was called out of the room.

As he rose, he placed his Bible on the chair.  

Something happened then which I could never

explain, nor try to excuse.  Suddenly, I stepped

past four or five people, took up his Bible and 

returned to my seat.  Rapidly I turned the leaves

and found the book worn almost to shreds in parts

and marked from cover to cover.  I quickly returned

it to the chair, and returning to my seat, I tried

to look very innocent.  As I sat there, I said to 

myself, 'That is the man I would like to mary!'"

"He would never borrow, nor ever go in debt,

and God always honored His servant's trust in him."
