Desire for Fortune that Turned to Misfortune

Pak Rudi was a victim of his friend, who swindled him into lending him money they initially agreed to be used for starting a business. Pak Rudi could not sue his friend because the money was not lent on any signed contract, rather only through a sense of mutual trust between friends. Because of this, Pak Rudi fell deep in debts because the money that he lent was not his own money to begin with. He has tried so many things to pay back his debt, including looking for jobs everywhere. But all his efforts only led him to a dead end.

Until one night, Pak Rudi heard a testimony in Solusi program on SCTV that really blessed his life. This encouraged him to contact Sahabat 24, the counseling center of Solusi, through SMS. He asked for prayer support for him to be able to pay back his debts of around 16 million rupiahs. The counselor of Sahabat 24 then responded by praying for Pak Rudi so God would show a way out of his struggle.

The positive response from the counselor sparked a new hope and passion in Pak Rudi. Around a month later, he returned via SMS telling a good news that he has landed a new job as a parking guard of a big department store in his town. Thanks to this job, after two years, Pak Rudi could finally pay back all his debts. He was really excited, happy, and grateful for all the supports and prayers by the counselors of Solusi. Although in the end his friend never returned the money, but God shown him another way to pay all his debts. Pak Rudi would later share his inspiring life story as a testimony to his friends, and they all felt that his testimony blessed them and encouraged them to work harder.”

Some of you may have experienced something similar with Pak Rudi: a desire for wealth that unfortunately turns into a disaster. Pak Rudi, who was swindled, took a really wise move to solve his problem: relying on God. But of course it is better to prevent the same thing from happening to you. One way to do so is to always prepare a receipt or written document as a proof of loan or debt. It should contain details about the borrower and lender, their signatures, the deadline for payback, and so on. This could serve as a binding and effective way when someone wants to borrow a huge sum of money from you. (Source: www.kompasiana.com/hendarianto.lawfirm).
