Sometimes I think that God must have a great sense of humor. Someone once observed that we could prove this by looking at the giraffe. Why would such a strange-looking creature be made, except for our enjoyment?

God also loves the game, “What Goes Around, Comes Around.” Of course, He probably calls it something else—-maybe “Give, and It Shall be Given to You.” Whatever the name, the results are awesome.

Eduardo Sierra, 35, is a businessman from Spain, who was sent to Stockholm, Sweden, on a business trip. He was a devout Christian, and made it a point to stop into various churches when he could, and pray for his family and friends, and even people he didn’t know. The trip was ordinary, everything went well, and on his last day, Eduardo checked out of his hotel and looked for a cab to the airport. Then he noticed an old church about two blocks down the avenue, and realized that he had not visited any churches on this trip. He probably had time for a quick prayer, he told himself, and walked down to the building.

It was open, but there was no one inside. Instead, Eduardo noticed that there was a closed coffin, and a condolence book at a small shrine. A note lay on the book: “Those who have prayed for this soul, Jens Svenson, shall please enter their name and address.” Eduardo looked at the first page. It was blank. No one had yet arrived to send Mr. Svenson off to heaven, and that made Eduardo sad. He would stay as long as he could, he decided, and he prayed for Mr. Svenson for a half hour. It was a bit difficult, since he knew nothing about the man, but prayer is never wasted, Eduardo believed. And when it was time to go, he remembered to sign his name and address, just as Mr. Svenson had asked. The church was still empty.

Several weeks later, Eduardo answered the phone. It was a representative from the Swedish capitol, informing him that he had just inherited several million dollars. At first, Eduardo suspected a wrong number, but when the lawyer finally convinced him that it was all true, Eduardo was almost speechless. “How can this be?” he asked.

“You prayed for a man in Sweden, Jens Svenson.” Eduardo could hardly remember—it was so insignificant to him. “Mr. Svenson was a wealthy real estate dealer with no close relatives,” the lawyer went on. “He specified in his will that whoever prayed for his soul, would receive all his belongings.”

“But….” Eduardo protested, “many people must have prayed for him.”

“No,” the lawyer explained. “Your address was the only one in the book.”

What goes around comes around? Can you remember an unexpected result when you decided to take a risk and do something just for God? Let us know about it.
