Please Be Careful Everywhere You Go🧐

What activities do you lose yourself in?

I lose myself in writing!

Today a really strange “true” thing happened!

I was walking to the train station to catch a train. It was my day off and I was dying to have a break. It had been a very tough week.

Suddenly a car driving by, slowed down.

There was a lady behind the wheel. She looked Asian. She was 100% a stranger. I had never seen her before. There was nothing odd in her appearance or her car.

But her question was extremely odd.

She said, “Do you want a lift to the train station?” (the station was very close by)

I was truly shocked! (not a taxi/uber either)

She was talking to me like I was her daughter!

It wasn’t raining!

I wasn’t limping therefore suggesting I needed help. There wasn’t even any introduction.

Today, no one asks a complete stranger to get into their vehicle to go some place!

I felt really indignant.

“No thank you. I do not need help walking…” ( my own thoughts)

“You don’t even know me. For all you know, I could be a serial killer. And you are asking me to get into your car?” (my thoughts)

But the other thought I am having now, is what if she was a serial killer? How did she even ask the unthinkable question?

Now days, even women cannot trust one another.

I made sure I did not get close to her car door. Just in case she grabbed me and stuffed me in her car.

I stiffly said, “No. I don’t even know you!”

I kept walking, feeling slightly annoyed that this woman did not appear to be living in the real world!

Stop, wait a minute! Maybe she wasn’t even from our world! 😉

The Bible says some have entertained angels unaware!

Or was this a man dressed like a woman?

Or was this woman a real woman but slightly unhinged?

I really would have liked to continue the conversation and find out why this woman acted this way. But it is scary to keep talking.

I would have liked to say, “Who are you? Where do you come from? Don’t you know that your question is not a safe one?”

What is my theory?

I am not sure.

Was she perhaps lost or new to the area and needed help to find the train station herself? Early dementia? Respectfully said.

If so, it was a very weird request because long gone are the days where anyone trusts a complete stranger. In my area, no one would ever say this. No, I don’t live in a small village but near a very big city where by default, people do not converse like that!

I hope this woman will be OK.

I hope she is well.

But I must admit I feel uncomfortable to know the real truth.

I simply cannot trust a weird stranger at all. A bit sad, but that is how it is now.

Btw..please do not trust normal strangers either!

When Jesus spoke to the woman at the well, she appeared indignant too!

“What are you talking to me for?”

I 🥰 know that Jesus is the only 100% safe Person to be around.

You can fully trust Him.

If He asks you a question, don’t be suspicious, He only has your best interests at heart.

When you answer His question, know that He is not out to deceive you, dress like a woman, carry a big knife to kill you or act unhinged.

Jesus is never fake and is not out to scare you!

I like these thoughts He has for us.

Jesus is always genuine.

Jesus is always good.

Maybe this lady was sincere with no ulterior motive. I have no idea.

But I still wonder….

What do you think?

  1. It is so difficult in this day and age to trust complete strangers, even if they look nice and are dressed properly. It gives me Ted Bundy vibes, unfortunately. There are some very nice people out there. It’s just so difficult to differentiate the good guys from the bad now. Yes, Jesus is the most perfect, and I trust Him completely.
