Did I Make A Foolish Choice? by Osisie(m): 10:08am On Aug 21, 2015 |
This morning I needed to go to work. I had no transport fare. I needed #150. From Ikoyi to Lekki. I asked a lady I know and she kindly gave me #200. But as I entered the bus, the conductor somehow didn't ask me for the fare. At first, I was excited. Cos that meant I could use the money for food. But then I was worried it was a sin. But, I held on to the money through out the journey while battling on the inside if I should give him or not. I managed to convince myself that I was stealing from him. And cheating him too. And I wouldn't want someone to do same to me. Moreover, GOD could always provide for me, (HE has NEVER let me down actually). So upon reaching my bus stop, I gave the money to the driver and requested my #50 balance which he gave me. I walked away feeling great. I used the #50 to buy puff puff and as I was munching it down the road to my place of work, a guy(stranger) walked up to me and said he was going to work but needed transport fare of #50 or #100. I told him I had nothing and he left. But it got me asking myself questions. Was I wrong to have given the driver the money? Cos I would have been able to help that guy if I hadn't. Pls, Was It A Foolish Choice? Was I the helper GOD was sending that guy? Or is it a trick from satan to sell me a lie? 1 Like |

No you did not make a wrong choice. At first, u shouldn't have hesitated paying your t fare before paying. Believe that there is always a way for God to cater for his people. One thing I know is that you wouldn't have given the stranger that money if u hadn't paid the t fare because you were thinking of breakfast. But all things been good, u did well. |

Will you be happy if someone give another person the money he ought to give you for the service you rendered to him? That's where your answer is, judge yourself |

Op, what you did was right and just. There is no God, (that I know of) and there is no devil. Desist from such conclusions when being morally upright. 1 Like |

chocolateme: Who says a God still caters for people? Maybe he was once(if He exist) but not anymore. The chibok saga should kick this argument out of court. A service was rendered to you and it is justifiable to pay for such services. Nevertheless, if am in a position of 'last cash at hand', I would rather talk nicely to the driver/conductor/co-passenger to assist with transport, don't forget they are reasonable people too. |
