CRY
Rain keeps pouring these few days. It's as if Heaven is mourning and crying for those poor souls who died in the Tidal Waves tragedy.
More than 100,000 has died. Right now, I still can't recover from the shock and grief. Everyday I watched the news online and on TV, the amount just keeps on increasing and I feel really upset and grieved looking at so many corpses lying around.
Never in my whole life have I seen so many corpses. Many are bloated, some with hands outstretched. I can imagine at their very last breath, they were still struggling to be alive, stretching their hands up to be saved. Looking at them always made me cry.
In the Bible, it says " We can rejoice too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us, they help us learn to endure." Romans 5:3
Yes, we will learn to endure this trial and try to continue living our lives. But to ask me to rejoice, I can't.
I know that when God allows this to happen, there is a purpose. This purpose which I as a sinful person can't comprehend.
Life is really fragile and unpredictable. One day you might be healthy and happily enjoying the riches and time with your loved ones, another day you might just lose everything and cease to exist in this world.
Today is the last day of 2004. This year has a lot of fortunate and unfortunate incidents which I felt the latter is more.
At midnight today, I will be stepping into 2005 alive, thinking of the many who didn't manage to do so and wondering if I will be able to step into 2006 alive too.
"God, though I do not understand why all these must happened but I still trust in you, the Almighty. I pray to you to be merciful and gracious to the survivors who need help and to watch over those who are with you now. Amen."
