A Shoemaker and a Tract

Narrator: Chris Genthree
Listen from:
Someone gave a shoemaker a gospel tract one day. He did not read it, nor did he throw it away; instead he used it as part of a sole lining in a shoe he was repairing.
Some months later when the shoes needed new soles again, the owner sent them to another shoemaker. The shoemaker took out the old worn-out sole, and to his surprise he found a printed leaflet inside.
He read the title and became interested. It was a message from God for his soul. It made him realize that he was a sinner, and needed salvation. The gospel tract turned his eyes to the Lord Jesus the only Saviour, whom He claimed as his own, and peace and joy now filled his heart.
The Bible tells us: “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.” Eccl. 11:66In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. (Ecclesiastes 11:6).
