Do Me a Favor

While trying to relocate in a different city, my niece, Debbie, was kind enough to invite me to stay with her until I could find housing. One day I was on the phone talking with my friend, Joyce, and another call came in on "call waiting," so I put Joyce on hold while I answered the other call.
It was Debbie. "Hey, would you do me a favor?"
Without hesitation I answered, "Sure."
"You're saying 'yes' without even knowing what the favor is?" she asked.
"Sure. I know you wouldn't ask me to do anything I am not capable to do." It was obvious that I trusted my niece.
"Oh, O.K. Would you mind mailing the electric bill for me. It's on the kitchen table."
"Sure. No problem. See you later."
When I switched back over to my friend Joyce, I explained what the call was about. As I related the story, I thought of another reason why I had said "yes" before even knowing what Debbie wanted. It was because, having lived in her home rent-free for two months, I felt I owed her too much to say "no."
Joyce replied, "That's the way it should be when God asks us to do something. He'll never ask us to do anything we are not capable of. Besides, We owe Him too much to say no."
