He had stolen his own wheat

Two peasants had a common threshing floor where they threshed their grain.

One of them was dishonest, the other, honesty itself. Both had threshed their crops on the same day, and each had left his grain in the threshing floor until the next day. The dishonest one wanted to steal his neighbor's grain the next night and, to recognize it, spread a blanket over him the night before.

By chance, the other peasant also came to the threshing floor that evening, and seeing the covered grain, he said to himself: "What a good man my neighbor is! He covered my grain so that it wouldn't rain and spoil it. But I don't want to be less honest either. My grain should spoil than that of this man, who is so kind...".

Then he took the blanket and covered the other's pile.

At night, the thief went there, felt the blanket, and filled his bag from the covered pile.

The next day, coming to the field, he found with shame that the neighbor's pile was intact and that, in fact, he had stolen his own wheat.

How many times in life, in his relationship with God, does a man not steal his own hat and harm himself?

God loves us very much and unconditionally!

Often, we do a good deed, and God comes to meet us, rewarding us tenfold, out of His goodness.
