It was New Year’s Eve as the young girl
Was rushing with her work
Mopping the hospital floors
Her mind went back to the days
her father was alive and the conversations they used to have
“Every one of us is born with a
gift
Our contribution to the
world “, he used to say
“Yes...dad"... she thought in
her head "after you passed away
My gift is cleaning toilets you
know."
In the prayer hall at the
hospital the same day a young preacher was talking from
Ps 139:16 CJB
Your eyes could see me as an embryo,
but in your book all my days were already written;
my days had been shaped
before any of them existed.
but in your book all my days were already written;
my days had been shaped
before any of them existed.
God show me my gift she prayed
Surely I have a better future
than mopping floors the whole day.
The next day while cleaning the
toilets she was surprised when one of the senior doctors smiled at her
“You sing very well”, he told
her.
”I do “she replied blushing deeply
“Whose song was it you were singing
anyway “he asked “it’s my own Sir, the girl replied.
“You are a very gifted
child
You should be at college”.
“I’m saving up for college Sir,”
she replied in a low voice.
“Come meet me in my cabin
let me see if I can help you “, he said.
That night the girl beamed as
she wrote in her diary
In one day I discovered my gift
and my future was revealed to me.
Thank you God she prayed.
