I am finding myself very emotional today. There is an issue that is heavy on my heart, probably more than one actually. I have seen two news stories today about two separate teens aged 14 and 15, who committed suicide because of being bullied in school. This breaks my heart for so many reasons. It is sad that these teens felt there was no way out, except to die. It is sad that no one stepped in at the schools and tried to help them. It is sad that people think they have to be so mean and cruel. I wonder if these teens knew Jesus? I wonder if they had that hope? I wonder if anyone had ever shared Jesus with them? I wonder, had they known the hope that lies within our grasp, would they still have taken their own lives? There are so many things to wonder. God says in His word that we are fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:14-16 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. 15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. 16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. It saddens me, because God had a plan for these precious lives...ones that were taken too soon...only because we live in a sin cursed world. A world where human life is taken for granted, where it has been made ok to make fun of someone because they are different or are not like the normal crowd. What happened to appreciating people for who they are, and valuing what they have to give to society? I was bullied in high school, so this hits me hard. I had a girl who would everyday spread rumors that I was pregnant....it never failed that I would run by her and she would point at me and laugh and then whisper to her friends that were with her. So, friends, that is where I am at today. Something has got to be done to make people more aware of bullying. I know it happens not just in schools but in work places as well, and it is not ok. It breaks Gods heart. It breaks my heart. I hope this makes someone a little more aware...and if you see someone who looks sad or down...try to talk to them and let them know they are not alone. Even a smile could save someone from killing themselves. People, we need to share the love , and shine the light that is within us. Not keep it to ourselves.
