Today was an eventful day.
As i was driving to work, my left front tyre burst. So i decided to stop at a parking slot. I proceeded to asking the custom officer nearby if there were any mechanics nearby, He did not look that friendly. Though he came back with a friend, and they helped me changed my tyre :). 3 malay government servants helping me. It really humbled me to never judge a person by race, position or status.
After they were done , i told them " Thank you so much , i'll remember you forever ! ". They also told me to go to a nearby shop area where there are mechanics. I listen to their advice and arrive to the area without any difficulties. There i met a lady who is in charge of the place. She speaks fluent english and have a very unique and exotic strong face!, She was the kindest, she even called a cab for me to sent me to work, it was such great and helpful service! :)
At work, when it was time to clock out. I asked a few colleagues if they would give me a lift to the mechanic as it was nearby. To my great disappointment they were all reluctant to help me. It made me feel not so very loved. Though i've earned never to expect anything from anyone. Especially and especially those who have a lot and are more than capable of helping because they are the ones who won't know what it feel like to want help nor be willing enough to go out of their way to help.
Called the cab and arrived at the mechanic. She was so lovely and she also gave me discount. An honest boss that is helpful and kind. I do pray for all these Lovely Good Samaritans. That God may pursue them and that they may come to know His love . They have also thought me to be a good samaritan when the opportunity presents itself.
“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
