learnt a few terms in GP today.
and realized there's a bigger picture to all that we're experiencing everyday.
heard many ridiculous and inhumane things done out of ignorance,and just carnal desires.
but all these are done at the expense of human lives.
precious lives.
lives with a soul and a heart.
yet they are being trampled on as if they are worthless.
-infanticidethe act of killing an infant. it happens in places like india pakistan and all,baby girls are being drowned at their birth..why? because they are not boys.
-children soldiersthis is being shown in blood diamond,where young innocent brats are taught to use guns,taught to be immuned to pain and suffering, that they just take the gun,point at their family, and shoot.
young hearts are supposed to be untainted by the evil
yet,at a young age, they've lost themelves.
-child labour/prostitutionwe've heard this many many times,children as young as 6,7 are forced to work..or be sold to prostitution. their parents wont mind giving away their children to those dealers, cause they are just too poor to even make ends meet.
and i thought, dont they love their children?
-children diversyoung children are made to dive down 10 metres or so to collect some shell things that have pearls inside..
donnoe what are they called..
and many of them never surfaced.
again, their parents made them do it..
indiaover there, if someone'e being knocked down by a car
the body's left there..
at the middle of the road..
simply no one cares..
maybe to them, its just another worthless life.
i wonder what on earth can really put a stop to these.
here we're concerned about meeting people's spiritual needs,emotional needs, and talking so much about taking care of the soul..
arent they the same as us?
yet i wonder if they themselves find that soul in them?
they wont know when will they be raped,
die of hunger
beaten to death
.....
....
.....
the kind of fears we have are so different..
not that our fears are not significant..
just that...
why does it seem so different?
i wonder if i were one of them in india, and i look at winnie's life, what will i think..
will i be angry? that she's not doing her ultimate best to bring the real answer to me?
will i be ashamed of her? that i'll want to take her place instead and treasure the life with God much more than she does?
what is the real answer?
who can ultimately put a stop to this?
is there any other answer that makes more sense than what God provides?
afterall, he is the answer, to life's mystery..
we look at the world, and say that God is cruel
but we often forget to look at the cross, and say that God is good.
human lives..
when will i truly see how much God values them?
such injustice..and yet theres nothing much i can do for now..
to value lives..
it starts from around me.
starts from 50 precious souls
starts from me and my household serving the Lord.
[just to be with me, you've done everything.so i'll remain in your love]
am setting aside time tmr to pray, and listen to God.
my binoculars have spotted problems coming on their way..
uncertain about what to do
uncertain about whats ahead
yet i know, they are part of walking on water.
no matter how difficult, how hopeless it seems
someone backs me up.
feel like screaming...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but satan you know what?
the harder you knock me
the harder i'll bounce back.
cause He's my bouncer.
