“God told me to give them to him”, the moving words of a child

God speaks to the heart of those who are ready to listen to him. And that's what happened to the little one Hector Pereira, of Araçatuba, who gave a pair of shoes to another child in need because 'God told him to give them to him.' The gesture was filmed by the parents.

At the end of the year, Heitor went to a canteen with his parents and asked them if he could take off his sneakers to make a donation to another boy who was in the club. The parents wanted to know why. "God told me to give it to him," the boy replied, surprising his parents.

The two agreed, but told him to ask what number the baby was wearing first. They filmed the scene and were impressed when they learned that the boy had the same number as Hector. He then discreetly handed the shoes to the boy and the two played in the restaurant.

If the children took the situation naturally, their parents were touched by the gesture. Jonathan posted the video on his social media and told the publication that he had talked to the parents of the boy who received the sneakers and had discovered that his son had asked for the shoes months ago as a gift.

“The boy asked his mother for these shoes a few months ago and she told him that God would make them for him,” wrote Jonathan.

God is always ready to surprise us, to go beyond our expectations. Especially when our heart trusts completely in him and believes that he will work. Hector's mother faithfully declared that God had already made those shoes for her son and they did. He believed it, he grasped the promise before he actually received it. And this is how each of us should approach the Father, certain of His benevolent promises.
