I woke up this morning as usual, feeling the most safe and secure in my PJs.
Then the first thing i heard this morning was,
'jie, there was another slashing case at bukit panjang'.
First thing that bolted into my mind - is it another youth case?
Just 2 days ago i remember taking a walk downstairs with ken saying how much i love my neighbourhood (ours rather), because it was so safe and cosy and just small and comfy. It so happened bukit panjang isn't that far away from our vacinity.
I hopped on my way to school and picked up The New Paper, and on the headlines it read
'PARANG RAMPAGE' - Gang of six youths in Bukit Panjang laugh as they slash victim's back and legs. THen they attack group of boys playing street soccer neary.My heart literally sank. Tears welled up in the corners of my eye as icontinued to read the detailed report given. 14-20 years of age. Gangs. Victims. Innocent. These are youths our age. They're not just anyone.
They're one of us. And then it just smacked right in my face that
this is a wake up call. It saddens me to know that there are so many people, youths, people like us, that need to know God. WE NEED GOD. This has been the thousand and one youth related attack since god-knows-when. And that's not it. Suicides, murder, rape and so many more. Do you guys realize how serious and sad this is?
This generation needs God. I cry out, God! Save us! I guess there's not much we can do to help anyone, but i know that we can pray. We can be the salt and light and lend a heart and a helping hand to the people who are in need. You never know, they might be the ones you see on your wya to school everyday, or the people you serve food to, just anyone. Right now, it's really time for us to rise up, pray. Not just pray, but WAR for this generation. I hope you guys join me on this, for God's love to be revealed and for His glory to come down on us.
Lord, save us.
