16/12/2024 (Mon) 1730 Kwun Tong Swimming Pool

Gate.

When I was about to pass the turnstile….

Staff said, “Hold on. This way.”

I said, “What’s up? The pool closes at 6pm. I’m rushing for a swim.”

Staff said, “This turnstile.”

I said, “But the one before one is working.”

I took out an Octopus card.

Staff said, “This turnstile.”

I said, “I’m rushing for a swim. I’m entering this.”

Staff said, “No, not this one.”

A man came from behind.

He said, “Sir, please enter through the turnstile before you.”

The staff gazed at me.”

Staff said, “But this is the one, repairman.”

I said, “I’ve never told you I’m a repairman.”

He said, “I’m the repairman.”

The staff turned to the man.”

Staff said, “You’re the repairman? So who are you?”

I said, “I’m rushing in for a swim.”

Staff said, “Enter the one before you.”

I entered.
……..

Another me said, “Turnstile repairman.”

I said, “Do I look like a repairman?”

Another me said, “Yes, you do.”

I said, “I told the staff I was rushing in for a swim.”

Another me said, “She wasn’t listening. Many ignore even what the Lord said, let alone what you said.”

I said, “You made a point here. I used to…..”

Another me said, “Used to what?”

I said, “I used to believe Jesus was the man in the card.”

Another me said, “What card? What man?”

I said, “He was like, in a card as large as my palm, a middle-aged man in a white cloak, wearing a long beard and spreading his arms wide.”

Another me said, “So you’re judging God by HIS look.”

I said, “I was. But now I’m trying to avoid.”

Another me said, “How?”

I said, “By reading and studying the Bible and listening to Jesus in prayers so that I can know Him.”

Another me said, “Is it necessary to read and study the Bible and listen to Jesus in prayers so that I can know Him?”

I said, “If you don’t listen to Him, from who else would you like to learn about HIM?”

Another me said, “……”

I said, “Or you want to take Him as how HE is portrayed in pictures or how He is imagined to be in your mind?”
