I am a disabled senior almost 70 years old and my rent is being raised beyond what I can pay and therefore preparing for homelessness. In today's economy I also feel I am being exiled into the land of the forgotten. But, I have an overwhelming peace within me as I am aware that wherever I go and no matter the circumstances, my Lord Jesus Christ is right there with me as the Holy Spirit comforts me my Heavenly Father will be looking over and loving me. Therefore, as the world around me falls apart, I remain blessed! In Christ, Baron T Reed

Baron - this is not right. you are a senior and there is help for you somewhere. Call your state congress person. you must find a senior citizen home where you can go on your social security. I am sure that your belief in God is good and he will help you to give you courage to find help. You really must call your Congress person. I don’t know where you live. Maybe there is help to be found through your church and priest. I can’t believe they would let you become homeless, especially, very especially since you are disabled. I hope you feel better and find solace and a home. I wish you much much luck. Be well, my friend. ☀️☺️🌷🌱

A pity the artist was not credited. Probably a Russian painter.

This is brilliant and beautiful and depicts a deep understanding of human nature. Our sometime inability to see past circumstances or events becomes our destiny and eventually our prison…Genius! Thank you!!!! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

I had a feeling this was going to end up like a Greek tragedy. In reality, it was a life lesson on forgiveness.

Wonderful stories I love them thank you and the narrators wonderful and it is wonderful artwork thank you

Beautiful. Freedom comes through forgiveness.

WOW AWESOME STORY OF GODS POWER ❤

This was really good 👍 thank you

You know those jobs when everyday you leave you wish you never had to go there again

🔥 MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD 🩸 OF JESUS CHRIST, SAVE US AND THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎

The protagonist's wife has a bad dream and asks her husband not to go to the fair. Calpurnia, Julius Caesar's wife, did the same, but her husband didn't want to listen to her and was stabbed to death in the Roman Senate. Askenov followed Julio Cesar's advice and ends up being prosecuted, arrested for the murder committed with a knife found in his possession. He is innocent, but ends up being convicted and sent to Siberia where he learns to be more tolerant and less subject to the vicissitudes of alcohol consumption. Decades later, still in Siberia, Askenov ends up finding the criminal who put the knife in his things to incriminate him. This prisoner tries to escape and is caught and Askenov may or may not testify against him. What should he do? Take revenge or forgive that wicked man who committed a crime and unjustly framed him? The ending of the short story chosen by Tolstoy is appropriate to the writer's own belief in divine justice. But it must be said that any other solution would only increase the negative psychological burden that Askenov carried for not listening his wife. Askenov likely would not have been arrested if he had stayed home or avoided alcohol the night he was framed. Drunk with the power he had gained, Julius Caesar might not have died on that fateful day when he failed to follow Calpurnia's advice. But it seems clear to me that he would be murdered later. Julio Cesar's death was violent. According to historians, he was surprised and rueful when he was stabbed by Marcus Junius Brutus, a friend who became an enemy during the Civil War and whom Caesar himself had forgiven. Askenov dies peacefully of a natural death after having forgiven those who harmed him. Forgiveness, which in the Caesar's case was paid with treachery, betrayal and deadly stabbings, in the case of Tolstoy's character also frees him from the feeling of self-incrimination for not having listened to his wife. Death is always certain, but there is a qualitative difference between dying peacefully and tormented by uneasiness. I mentioned Caesar's case because it is evoked at the beginning of the story (Askenov's wife's dream reminds any educated reader of Calpurnia's dream the night before Caesar's murder). Thus, the Roman tragic episode can be a key to better understanding the Russian writer's work. And it seems to me that he suggested it himself.

Some 75 years after Julius Caesar's murder, we learn of another dream - that of Claudia Procula, the wife of Pontius Pilate, who later warned her husband not to condemn Christ.

Well written Mr. Reed. That comfort is deep within the soul.

😮😢❤ 🛐✝️🙏Shared.👍

Wow

Sometimes, the government can't tarnish a reputation. Sometimes, it is best not to tell.

❤ Human justice

The question still remaims, as to who is truly responsible for askenov's sufferings ?

Is this the source of The Shawshank Redemption?

Hi. This story is called God knows the truth, but waits. Not exiled in Siberia.

An (apparently) identical recording of this story was posted on this channel about a month earlier than this one under the name '"God Sees the Truth, but Waits." A short story by Leo Tolstoy'. Deja vu...

His story titles were translated in different ways. This title was common in the early 20th century, today it’s printed in its true title of God Sees the Truth

Feels like I am there🥓🥀

Two convicts in a gulag are talking. "Why are you in here?" "I got 20yrs for doing nothing.'' says the younger one. "Don't be ridiculous," replies the older man, "in Russia, you only get 10yrs for ''doing nothing!"🤣

Leo Tolstoy = God, Christ, prayer, forgiveness, salvation = predictable and boring. This story was contrived and silly. Ivan had a place to go and be with his grown sons, in spite of his protest otherwise. He was speaking falsely. Shame on him. His God will punish him.

Punish him for dying of old age while imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit? I don't think I've ever heard anything said in apparent earnest that was more ridiculous.
