Day +219

I am fine today. Continue from yesterday…

The agency’s owner persuaded me to lodge a police report to say that the maid run away. She would then apply ‘run away’ insurance for me and back date it to an appropriate date so that a claim can be made. This would save us and the agency a big sum of money. After her continuous lobbying and assurance that it would be fine to do this, I agreed.

I regretted of accepting her proposal on the way home. It was definitely not right for me as a Christian to cheat the police and the insurance company. This is against the Bible teaching and my conscience, but the problem is that I already agreed to her proposal.

After discussing with my wife, I decided to back off from the proposal. I called the agency’s owner and apologized to her for changing my mind. However, she insisted that this should be the right way of doing thing. In the end I told her I am a Christian and it is against the Bible teaching and my conscience to do this. If I did what she proposed, I would have no peace within me and I surely couldn’t sleep anymore. Peaceful heart or money, which is more important?

After listening this, she changed her tune suddenly. She praised me and even said, “How I wish my daughter could find a husband like this.” :-) I slept peacefully that night even though I knew I had to pay more money to replace the maid :-)

To be continued and see you next post :-)
