Troubled Thoughts
its been a few days since Kean Yip's tragic death. i could see MSN nicks wishing him peace, some wishing for justice, others showing a 'rose' as a kind of remembrance to him.
death could have different meanings to different people. as a Christian i believe that there is heaven and hell. simple enough, yet the catch is that not every Good Person goes to heaven - only those who have accepted Jesus as Saviour does. Now i do not intend to explain or preach here. anyway, as i was chattin with Wai Sam yesterday i found out Kean Yip wasn't a Christian, and we both very well know what that means.
i wanted to do something, i wanted to pray for him but how? from what i know it's already too late. my friend adviced me to pray for peace for he's family and to bless him in Jesus' name, besides that there's nothing i could do. now if u read my previous post you may be wondering why am i praying for him and all seeing that i couldn't get along with him while he was alive. its not because i felt bad or anything, its because i understand how painful it can be to find out the truth that you're friend/you're son/you're brother is in Hell.
think about it, Kean Yip was a good person in general, he was a promising student with a bright future and suddenly in an instance it was all gone. He was brutally murdered and no doubt suffered before death, it would only be fair that he's found peace after suffering those final moments. yet truth says otherwise. Zhu Whee made a point in his comment. i'm sure my questions, my thoughts is now running through he's mind as well.
as Zhu Whee said, he's not blaming God, but these are the questions we can't help but ask. If you're a non Christian reading this it would have been impossible for me not to have offended you. i know because I was offended. but whatever faith we're practicing, i think the least we could do is to offer Kean Yip and he's Family a prayer.
