NOTHING TO SHOW
Sam:
What are u talking about? Once again am ending the year having nothing to show for my labour. I have served God in vain, my time, study, prayers and even offerings have not been rewarded.
Queen:
Look, there is more to appreciate God for, than the things we see.
Sam:
And a lot is expected of me than what I have got at this end of the year. Can't you see? I had so many Failed contracts, broken relationship, is it my academics? It's nothing to write home about... Please, I don't think I have anything to appreciate God For.
Queen:
Are you serious? Do you mean you do not recognize what God has done for you?
Sam:
Ok... What do you expect from me? I only know that I began this year with high expectations but he allowed my expectations to be shattered...
Queen:
But...
Sam:
No, noooo... Let me speak. I began the year having all I wanted at my convenience now I struggle to feed, ooooh is it marriage? I thought i was getting married soon. In fact, I am S.S.S.S... Single still seriously searching.
Queen:
Hmmmm.... In all things, give thanks for it is the will of God... You started the year having all this things but they are no more, yet you are here. Have you ever asked yourself why you are here? You started with your life and you still have it today. Others started with their lives and are no more. Others started with their right minds, but today they are in the psychiatric hospital and some roaming the streets mentally deranged. Are you in anyway better than them? You cannot tell why he withheld that contract, you cannot also tell why he allowed that relationship to be broken. You can go on and mention them... All these I believe he withheld so that you can be here today.
Sam:
Hmmm... You are right, I never thought of my life, the numerous accidents I escaped from, rubbery attacks yet he spared my life...
Queen:
He is a great God and deserves our praises, isn't he? He is the God of the eleventh hour and can still surprise you before the year is over... But, you must learn to appreciate him for the things he has done. Think about it. (Exits)
Sam:
I lost none of my family members. Poor me, why was I so myopic...? I couldn't see what he has done for me. I only saw what he never did... Indeed, his mercies are so numerous and new every morning. (Sings) Lord am not here to complain about my many troubles, but by your Spirit and your Grace, I have confident you solved them. Am here... To say I love you, I'm here to say, I adore you, I'm here to say I love ..... You, I long to love you more.... (Continues in worship till light fades).
Scene 2:
(Light opens on a postman riding his bicycle, as he rides past Sam's house, he stops and knocks, Sam opens his door yawning as he receives the mail. He throws it on his bed as he walks in, but suddenly rushes back, picks it up and opens it. He screams with unlimited joy... His failed contracts were all signed and awarded him. Picks his phone and dials a number as he thanks God pacing round his room)
Sam:
Hello, (Panting) Queen, God still work wonders! I got the contracts, all signed and sealed!
Light Fades...
The End
What you think you haven't received is nothing compared to the great hand of God that has preserved you. Give Him The Worship He Deserves... Nothing replaces a grateful heart...!
