Who is Nelson?
Sunday, June 14, 2015, on this day, I was feeling low…
On my way home, I thought of Nelson. Then man I met outside CIMB, Sunway Mas the other day. He was a homeless man. I remember he asked for food. I didn't respond immediately. I went into my car and looked at him from a distant.
I accept the fact that I was feeling low on that day. So, I didn't want to pay much attention to him. I just want to be alone. There is nothing wrong to feel low, humans are made up of barrel full of emotions and those emotions makes us.
I didn't want to stuck in this emotion for too long. So, I tried to divert my attention to Nelson. I continued to observe him from my car.
Why not I buy him a dinner?
As I was about to get out from my car, I saw a young Malay guy bought him a dinner. I stepped back.
After few days I went back to look for Nelson. I bought him a dinner. I sat down with him at the corridor. People were passing by. I saw some familiar faces. I tried to pay attention to Nelson's sharing. He speaks fluent English. Although, he cannot see clearly and walk normally but he can hear clearly. He was very excited to share how he prayed for MH370 when he heard aeroplane flew over. That night, we became friends.
Whenever I am feeling low, I will look for him. I can't remember when was the last time I saw him. But I remember there was a night, he asked me to send him home. I did. When we bid goodbye, he hugged me tightly and say thank you. His tears continued to seep down. I knew in my heart, he wasn't happy to be back home.
I looked at him as he slowly walked away.
That was the last time I saw Nelson…
My story with Nelson reminds me of my poster,
"Doubtful Heart" We never stop questioning God's love for us. At most times, we feel doubtful of His love. This poster was created to bring forth awareness on having a “blind” heart. God's love for us is always wrapped with question marks!
