Do we really love people?

Just knew not long ago about Mernel...hmm she used to came for our CG. 1-2 years ago? I still remember the girl that walked in. She was young and well she look rather rebellious. She has this look that most people will walk away from her. She doesnt look like a typical youth. But still I like her. I thought she was funny. And I even gave her tuition together with germaine.

And then things just happen like that? Well heard that she jumped off the building.

"A CAN of industrial glue in a plastic bag was left on a stool found at a staircase landing in a Bukit Batok block. Near it were two pairs of slippers. Nine storeys down, the broken bodies of a 15-year-old girl and a man, aged 22, lay on the ground near Block 127 in Bukit Batok West Avenue 6. They were found lying side by side, both clad in T-shirts and shorts.

Police are investigating the double deaths. Among the evidence they took away with them was the can of glue, the slippers and the wooden stool which were found on the staircase landing between the 9th and 10th storeys of the block.

The dead teenager, Mernel Koh, was a Secondary 2 student at Fairfield Methodist Secondary School. "

Hmm....I was just thinking about this and of this video that I saw yesterday.

She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away

If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her

He is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction

Sometimes we as CHRISTIANs need to ask ourselves, do we really love people? What would have happen if we have loved HER more and bring HER close to JESUS? Would she have died today? I keep on thinking to myself the whole day. What if I have shown her more God's love? She would probably in our cg now, serving God? Guess this news and this video is a wake-up call to me and to many people.

Does anybody see her? Does anybody hear her?

AND I AM DETERMINED TO LOVE PEOPLE MORE!
Mernel, Amber loves you and I am sorry that I wasnt there when you need someone...
