Rescuer

Within a month, Korea entertainment circle lost 3 Korean actors & actresses, who had chosen the path of suicide. It is scary to think that someone who used to be glamorous outwardly, can be going through rough patches inwardly. Imagine the amounts of stress, fears, hopelessness & desperation they must have faced before walking into the road of self-destruction. Sometimes one really wonders if that is the ultimate way for these people.

Fame come & go, isn't that goes the same for problems & troubles? If they come & go, then shouldn't it be worthwhile to tarry a little longer to win the battle? Maybe sometimes the battle is really hard that the issues cannot be ironed out. Maybe they are too insurmountable & overwhelming? Maybe suicide is the easy way out? Or maybe ..one chinese saying says it well "笑里藏刀". You won't know someone's pain behind the smiles.

How about being a Christian? How should we react when we hear such saddening news?
In Him we have our being, so we should treasure the life God has given to us. Times may be tough, but lean on the everlasting arms of God where there is safety & security. Tough times never last but tough people do, so be hopeful that they will come & go. Stand in the gap & pray. Also be sensitive & alert to people around you. There may be hurts & struggles one faces behind the smiles. When you turn other's mourning into dancing, other's tears into joy under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, you have rescued a soul.
Aim to be someone like that, then your life will be more meaningful & fulfilling.
Lord, help me to be a rescuer of souls.
