Shalom!
Something strange happened to me yesterday as I was doing something...
Let me tell you what i was doing yesterday.
..................................................................................................
I decided to do a few things as soon as i can.
1) Take form 5 books for Crystal
2) Close my Agro Bank account (opened for NS... their service is not good)
3) Mail something to Singapore
I reach train station i forgot to bring water........... so thirsty!
Anyways..
I was on my way to Agro Bank. I just noticed that it was so easy to get there... just sit train to Masjid Jamek and walk to the opposite side of the train station, behind all the shops...
And then I was so close to Agro Bank like just less than 1minuite walk to the entrance where you can feel the air-cond blowing... a man approached me!
He was an Indian and he like politely approached me. He was like,"Excuse me, I need a small help from you. You see...."
Here's his story...
He was just released from a prison which is in Johor... He was detained because of a passport case... I can't remember what name he told me.. and said that he was given a warrant ticket to KL which was like only one way? So, he used the ticket and he reached KL... and from there he has to go back home himself...
So, he asked me for help to give him some money to help him go back to his home in Taman Semarak Nilai (if i remember correctly....) He was like begging me to help him saying that he just borrow money and will return to me where ever i stay? ......
My response.....
as he was explaining his reason for asking help from me... i was silently praying asking God to give me wisdom and help me... i was shocked a little... but i thank GOd for His peace which does not leave me! There was that calmness within my heart......
I tried to find other ways to tell him how to go home... so hard...
I know he knows how to go home by train and by taxi or bus... but... is he telling me the truth?
I asked him to call his family to pick him up but he said that his family not free/nobody pick up phone and that now he has met me he has nothing with him!
Oh dear.... then he tells me that he has a son studying in UTAR..
Ding! Ding! IDEA
"Sir, i know how you can get to UTAR... here's what you do la... I give you RM5, you take the PUTRA to Melati station and walk straight to UTAR. Its just near there then you meet ur son la!"
But he like dun wan... and then when i ask him to call his son, he said that he has nothing with him to call his son...
uhoh... running out of options...
nvm la!
i gave him rm10 and then i prayed for him. Then, he introduced himself to me saying his name is Andrew, he's a Christian... I talked with him for a while...
In the end i bid him goodbye and safe journey..
Reflecting on this incident... from my experience, i still hold to what Jesus says about what to do when people ask help... if i'm not wrong it is in Luke.
who am i to judge if he is telling the truth of the lie. Let God judge!
