last night i was on a cab home from bishan station.
the reason why i always take cab from bishan is always becos..
1. im tired
2. the bus ride back home from bishan, a place supposedly to be near, takes forever.
3. ive got tons of things to do!
4. i need to rush home
hmm, either 2 of these reasons satisfy my need to take a cab home!
its just a 5 min or more cab ride back anw.
but yesterday, a beautiful picture came into my mind as i was in the cab.
here goes :
a girl left home in tears, rushing to church, as her mom has just persecuted and threatened her from going church. she was waiting for a cab somewhere near her house, but there seem to be no cab.
this while, she's still in tears.
she prayed for a cab.no cab came still.
soon, after some time, a blue comfort taxi stopped in front of her.
she was crying in the taxi. the time says 1:45pm. service was at 2pm during those days.
she sat in the cab like any other cab.
until, the taxi driver press the 'play' button on his stereo.
and the stereo sang
' into Your hands, i commit again, with all i am, I trust in You..'
the girl looked up and asked ' uncle, are you a Christian ?'
taxi driver ' yea I am. hey, why you crying ? '
girl ' my mom jsut scolded me for going to church and im going to church now.'
taxi driver ' ooohh.. hey, dont cry. its okay one, she may not understand now, but she will, definitely one day. be strong, God will help you one.. '
girl ' yea.. thank you..'
taxi driver ' you know, last time ah, i also dont believe in God one, until my daughter was diagnosed to be ill, cos dont have white blood cell, after very long time, still cannot find any cure, was in a very critical condition.. then my sister pray for me, pray for my daughter, then she somemore ask this pastor to come and pray. it was already past midnight, but then the Pastor still came down you know! then my sister also ask me to try to pray, haiya, at first i also dont believe one, i was laughing at them somemore. but no choice, its already the last opportunity already, so i pray also. then suddenly, the very next day, the doctors found a sudden increase in white blood cell! '
girl ' wow.. which church are you from ? '
taxi driver ' city harvest church.. dont cry, its okay one.your family will come to know God one day'
just then, the cab reaches church, right on the dot.
the girl realises that she forgot to bring money out o the house
taxi driver ' dont need la, its okay.'
girl ' no, uncle, i can get the money. wait..'
then the girl borrowed from one of her church friends she saw.
taxi driver ' oh.. okay, anw, i give you this CD la, i got alot of CD at home, and here is my contact number and name, if you need cab next time to go church, just gimme a call. dont worry, God is real'
girl ' thank you uncle..'
- end of story.
hhhaha isn't it amazing how God has plans ?
He planned for that girl to enter the cab. that particular cab, with the taxi driver.
out of the thousands of taxis in Singapore, only that one special God appointed cab.
only that one God appointed driver.
it was as if God was driving that girl to church isn't it ?
God comforts when you're down. God is on your side when you get persecuted.
God, is real. (:
wonder hows that taxi driver now.
i lost the piece of paper, but i know i'll definitely meet him in heaven again and i'll have a chance to tell him it was the best taxi ride i've ever gotten.
thank you mr taxi driver, thank You God.
without You, nothing of any sort will happen.
joyous. loving Him. ;
