232- What If you Started By Sweeping This Room?

 

St-Takla.org Image: Miriam A. Ferguson (Miriam Amanda Wallace "Ma" Ferguson) (June 13, 1875 – June 25, 1961) was the first female Governor of Texas in 1925 (American politician). صورة في موقع الأنبا تكلا: ميريام إيه فيرجيسون (أماندا والاس، ما فرجيسون) - 13 يناير 1875 - 25 يونيو 1961، أول محافظة لولاية تكساس الأمريكية - شخصية سياسية.

Ma Ferguson was energetically campaigning in the state of Texas. After taking a tour allover Texas and talking to its citizens with enthusiasm, she came home. Proudly she reported to her husband saying, "I’ll sweep the entire state."

Her husband looked around him and suggested, "What about starting by sweeping this room?"

This was the advice of Jesus to his disciples, to start preaching in Jerusalem (Luke 24.47; Acts 1.8) and then move on to the rest of the world.

→ English translation of the story here at St-Takla.org: ماذا لو بدأنا بالحجرة؟

I want You Lord to abide in my inner Jerusalem,

And there, establish Your kingdom through Your Holy Spirit.

Thus I shall be Your witness wherever I go.

I shall become a true ambassador of Your love,

And a living icon that reveals Your glory.
