Started a Blog cause i had so much on my mind.

I just decided to have this blog because i really want to write down the things i am thinking about...

Just recently read the newspapers. At the moment, there's this news about 23 Korean aid helpers who got caught by the Talibans in Afghanistan. I really don't know what to think.

Here are 23 Koreans, just thinking of helping out by providing aid reliefs and stuff, and this is what they get. Currently, already 2 of them have been killed. HOW IS THIS FAIR.

You know, as i read the news article on the Straits Times, i couldn't help but just cry. Life is so unfair. This should not be happening. WTH is happening with this earth. I couldn't help but recall a song that i've recently heard from one of the albums that i have. It's by MercyMe. The song is called Hold Fast, and the lyrics goes something like this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To everyone who's hurting
To those who've had enough
To all the undeserving
That should cover all of us
Please do not let go
I promise there is hope

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He's come to save the day
What I've learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is His grasp
So hold fast

Will this season ever pass?
Can we stop this ride?
Will we see the sun at last?
Or could this be our lot in life?
Please do not let go
I promise you there's hope

You may think you're all alone
And there's no way that anyone could know
What you're going through
But if you only hear one thing
Just understand that we are all the same
Searching for the truth
The truth of what we're soon to face
Unless someone comes to take our place
Is there anyone?
All we want is to be free
Free from our captivity, Lord
Here He comes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now i'm hurting, even though this matter doesn't even involve me. I feel sadness for the 2 Koreans that have lost their lives and yet at the same time, i feel hate for their captors. Injustice. However, i know that i shouldn't respond by hating the Talibans and what not. It's not what God would want. But it's seriously going to be damn hard not hating them :(

I'm reminded that we are all sinners. We have all sinned. I'm probably just as bad as anyone else. Everyone deserves a chance? I can only imagine what would happen if God thought like that i am thinking right now. I think the whole human race would be WIPED. Therefore, i'm glad that God is God, and i am not. Save us all from this situation.

I guess all I can do is to pray. Pray for the remaining 21 who are still alive. Pray for their captors to wake up their idea and stop killing people. I don't know. God help me love.
