In India a Hindu lady had been converted. At first her husband was very angry and unkind to her. A missionary asked her one day, “When your husband is unkind to you, what do you do?”
“I cook his dinner better,” she replied. “When he complains, I sweep the floor cleaner. When he talks angrily to me, I answer him softly. I seek to show him that I am a better wife and mother because I am a Christian.”
What the preaching of the missionary failed to do, the wife’s good example accomplished under the power of God. Her husband saw that she was a true Christian because she was now a kinder wife and a better mother than before. Eventually he, too, was won for Christ.
