"God's thoughts"

I remember the story of woman of God, faithful to the Lord, but unfortunately her faith was short, It goes like this: She was asking the Lord to free her husband's addiction to alcohol, but after asking, he appeared with a bottle of rum at home.

Desperate, she complained: I asked God to release my husband, and now he gets worse bringing a bottle in his hand? 
Then after that, she gave up to pray for her husband.

But as time went by, she asked God to heal her family, asked also by his own illness that she had, for a financial miracle and so on, however, she hoped and gave up their petitions.


One day the woman died, but as she was faithful to God, she went to the Kingdom of Heaven. Arriving there, the Lord sent an angel to receive her. When she was coming to the sidewalk, the angel was leading him into a beautiful mansion and then she asks:


"Am I going to live here? The angel replied yes and then was taking her to a room and another, because all were full of packages. As all rooms were full of packages, the angel led her to the kitchen and pantry, but it was impossible to enter due to the large number of packages.

At one point she asked the angel what those packages were and that she would like to open them. Then the angel helped her to open up some of the package, so the angel said to her: "This package was here for your husband, this other here is for your cure, this other one is for your family cure, but you could not wait for me to give.

They were all ready, but you give up to pray…

Dear reader, this story is just an illustration that we should ask and wait and although she was a woman faithful to the Lord, it is written in the Bible that without faith it is impossible to please God, and perseverance is a virtue.

Who has ears shall listen to the word of God.
