I was at the airport seeing a friend off earlier on. It’s so funny. His actions reminded me of another friend. He was there, together with the rest of church friends. They were teasing him and another girl. And then he introduced me to her and said, ‘Jon, this is my co-worker. Remember THAT co-worker I told you about.’ Haha. So obvious and he gave her an extra large gift, which stood out from those we received.
It just reminds me about a close friend when he ‘tried’ to introduce me to a girl. He dropped me a message that read ‘Why so tau (colloquial for aloof)?’ I really didn’t get what he meant until he explained. Then, I wondered if he had wanted me to greet someone who probably regarded me as a stranger, whom probably have no idea who this dude is because she was never introduced to him by anyone else before, and then tell her, ‘Hi. I’m a friend of that guy over there. The guy who’s madly in love with you, just that you didn’t know about it yet. He just told me to greet you.’
I guess those are the moments in our life. When we’re caught by someone, overwhelmed by our emotions, losing all sorts of rationality. Perhaps we all need to be like that again. To be that excited about the Gospel.
