Elizabeth's Story
Elizabeth Robin’s Story (as recounted to Indira Patro)
Elizabeth (Liz), a resident of Surrey, was acquainted with Joyce, a friend of Indira’s and a supporter of MSM. Liz was not well off and, in fact, did not have enough money to pay all of her bills. Apparently, Liz spent all her time watching TV and chatting with neighbours. And while she did profess to believe in God, she did not have an understanding of what real Christianity was all about.
When Joyce got involved in MSM and came to know of God’s laws of provision, she decided to help Liz re-establish her relationship with Christ. Joyce then invited Liz to help her make booklets for a MSM seminar and paid Liz’s registration fee so she could attend it as well.
Liz was surprised to hear about God’s heart regarding our well-being. The fact that God cares about our financial increase was a new concept for her for she was used to holding God responsible for her small income and never thought anything could be done to improve her situation. After the seminar she decided to apply God’s principles with some reservations in her heart.
Liz first looked at her spending habits and brought them under control. She was confident that she could manage better. Then she paid some tithes. Since then Liz has found that her bills are becoming more manageable. In June she received a letter and a cheque from her former employer regarding her pension fund. She thought the settlement cheque was for the amount of $1,900.00, but after consulting with a friend she realized that the amount was actually $19,000.00!
Liz is very grateful to God for answering her with grace despite her skeptical acceptance of His truth. Since receiving her pension cheque Liz has paid off all her debts, bought a car, and gone on a missions trip. She came to a second seminar and learned more about God’s heart towards our financial affairs.
This is just a starting point for Elizabeth. She is learning to walk with the Holy Spirit. She expects to learn more about God’s goodness and live her remaining live for Him while reaching out to others by sharing her story as well as through loving actions.
