I was struck by her commitment (2) - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

I was struck by her commitment (2)
Yesterday we saw how Anne, an elderly Chinese Christian, went through the whole of China to speak of Jesus in the course of her travels.
Some years later a Christian visiting a government official met the man's wife. She was reading a Bible. Astonished, he asked her if she was a Christian. This is her testimony:
"One day my husband went to another town by train. An elderly lady started a conversation with him, speaking at length about Jesus. She told him, ‘The reason why I make these journeys is that I want to spread this good news.' My husband was impressed, even if he has never become a Christian. As for myself, I was struck by the commitment of that woman. I said to myself: ‘What is so interesting about Jesus that she feels obliged to travel throughout the whole of China at her advanced age?' I bought a Bible for myself and I quickly found salvation."
Her husband always showed a benevolent attitude towards Christians, in spite of his ties with a government opposed to a gospel, doing all he could to prevent the worst excesses of persecution from reaching the regions under his authority. God works in a wonderful way! He used a weak, old lady to speak to those in power in that country as none other could.
