"She left immediately after finishing her tea. The most sudden part is she just left without even a notice. It was difficult for me to chase her out. Ten minutes after she left, I received an email from the Department of Employment & Labour that I am invited for an interview next week.
A grateful Edward shared that he believed God shows up in different ways if he wants to bless you.
"Be patient with the process. The interview doesn’t mean I got the job but this was the answer to what I said yesterday when I was praying I only said “God show yourself in my life” because like I was already out of words."
South Africans touched by the special moment
According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, when interacting with persons who have a mental illness, it is important to always be respectful, compassionate and empathetic to their feelings.
The young man's post touched many netizens who responded with heartfelt messages and Bible verses. Many others also commended Edward for helping the woman in need despite his personal challenges.
