勇气

有死的勇气，为什么不要活着勇敢面对生活？听起来很俗气，可是我真的找不到还有什么好说的。

Recently there seems to have increasing cases of teens committing suicide being reported. I wonder if it’s a trend. Remember there was a Japanese movie on the theme of teen’s suicide. It’s as if it’s a fashion statement to commit suicide.

Fancy writing a 1000 word essay to her own mother before her jump. Asking for forgiveness and asking her mother not to be sad. Does she think that her mother has a choice when she made those requests? Seems noble ah. Asking your own mother not to be sad when you die. What crap!!!!! How can your own mother not be sad when you commit suicide???? How selfish of you to want your way in all that you do and hope that your mother will not be sad! No wonder you don’t have the brains to continue to live on.

If you got the guts to commit theft, sniff glue, rebel against your parents etc etc, then why don’t you have the guts to face the music? Maturity comes when you accept responsibility for your own actions. (I feel silly to sound like I am talking to a dead and I don’t even know her.)

Perhaps the only answer to my many “whys” is that evil is here to tarnish the image of God.

I feel helpless seeing the many teens being delivered into the hands of the evil one. Even if I am in social work, my efforts are limited because many still chooses to walk the opposite way from God.

It’s easy to say that you want to marry work and ministry or make work your ministry. But as I think about it, it’s really hard to have a good biblical foundation in your work. Usually, the foundational structures of secular work are founded upon secular values and principles. Even in Christian organizations, there seems to have Christ-like values but it’s also mixed with secular principles.

Lord, I pray that you build in my work your foundation- the foundation that is everlasting. Your foundation is truth, is love and life.

Father, I pray for the many teens and children in the world who are being held captive by the evil one. I pray that you deliver them from the evil one and have mercy on them.
