In Response to Offence
I felt that I needed to post this in response to a friend who replied jokingly saying that he/she's going to hell in response to an article that I shared on my social media account about being discouraged by friends who left their Christian faith behind: I'm sorry that you felt offended by what the article said. That was not my intention. However, it upsets me to see you use such critical and condemning words on yourself. Perhaps you are using sarcasm to hide your inner thoughts on your self-worth, but I assure you that God knows your heart full well and loves you regardless of how you feel about the state of your soul. Jesus' death and resurrection paid the price of all our sins and allows us to live free and abundant lives, and empowers us to flee from the persistent voice of self-condemnation and sense of worthlessness. I would urge you not to use the term 'hell' lightly if you do not believe in its existence or the weight it carries for fellow believers in...
It's Elementary
I'm loving the soundtrack that played at the end of Season 7, Episode 2 - '99' by Elliot Moss. Elliot Moss - 99 (Official Music Video) There is just something about Sherlock, Joan and Marcus' friendship/kinship that is so sublime. It's the same vibe I get from the SPN cast. It's the mutual trust and respect, the shared understanding that you would sacrifice your own good for the benefit of another, that you would have each other's backs no matter what.
Tackling Child/Teen Suicide
This is just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. 1. It starts at home or within the extended family from young. Every child needs a role model/mentor figure, not an enabler, but someone who guides them towards independent problem solving. Don't coddle them too much but praise the child when they display empathy and generosity. 2. If there are no role models at home, then the school staff and students are depended on to support and develop the children's resilience and teach them to choose their friends wisely. 3. Finally, it takes the rest of the community to raise the child, just like in the kampung days. If your child is often getting into trouble with the community, parents should not bail their child out from negative consequences or punishment. Stay calm and inform your child's teacher or seek external agencies for professional counselling and advice.
