Thinking Of
Suicide?
Page 2
Welcome to this Page where we will discuss the topic of Suicide Prevention.
Dear hurting person:
This is a letter of desperation to the desperate person. If you are
thinking about taking your life, there are some things I would like to share
with you. Not in a judging way. What I have to say to you is said
because of love and because I have been there. Here are a few things I
would like to point out . . .
1. GOD loves you.
Maybe that is
invisible to you right now. It might even make you mad because if
HE
loves
you, why did
HE
put you in this mess? The answer is,
HE
didn't.
Proverbs 19:3 says our foolishness ruins our situation in life and causes us to
be mad at
GOD.
2. GOD would NEVER
tell you to kill yourself.
HE
is life and not
death. The LORD
is the LORD
of the Living, not the dead. No one praises HIM
from the grave. Every day you are alive you can talk to the LORD
and give HIM
the opportunity to fulfill your hearts desires.
3. There is NO
situation that is so bad and complicated that GOD cannot fix
and restore you.
And
HE
can do it
quickly. Please don't think I am making light of what you are going
through. I'm not! I just know from personal experience that
HE
is
amazing at restoring us! And
HE
will if you let
HIM, for you have free will and
HE
allows you to make your own
choices. That gift from
GOD
is to be your greatest
blessing, you choose, and with the power to choose, you are free to choose to
live, and face the next day and the next as you wait upon the
LORD.
HE
is on the way, even now as
you read these words!
4. Things will
not be better if you were gone.
No matter what you
have done, or what has been done to you, someone's life will be brought down by
your absence. Everybody has somebody in their life that love's them even
if you don't know this to be true. No one is truly alone! Every
person that is left behind by an individual taking his own life will suffer
all the days of their life! They will never be the same, never forget and
never have another truly good day in their life.
5. And on the
other hand, you cannot pay someone back by taking your life!
And remember, you will not be around to see. If you have been hurt
and damaged by another person, remember, the answer is for the
LORD
to bring
HIS
judgment upon them, not
you. The LORD
is aware of all abusers.

Let the LORD
balance the books of justice for you, HE
knows how to do so!
6. If you have
"walked 1,000 miles down the wrong path" it is only one step
back.
The Bible says, in
James 4:8 "Come near to
GOD
and
HE
will come near to you." And
when
HE
comes near,
HE
helps and heals and delivers!
The
LORD
is Love, and
HE
loves you completely,
HE
will show you the Path of
Beauty to the
FATHER.

7.
No matter how bad things are for you right now, your particular situation is
not unique to you alone.
1 Corinthians says; "No temptation has seized [come to] you except that is which common to man [has attacked MANY people throughout the ages]. GOD is faithful, HE will provide a way out that you may escape." More than one of the individuals who participated in putting this Article together had come very close to committing suicide in their past. The fact that the LORD stopped them from completing their plans shows just how faithful HE is when we turn to HIM with open hearts, calling out to HIM for help! JESUS will do the same for you; "For all who call upon the LORD will be saved." Romans 10:13 You are not alone!
8. No one but those who have done it know the eternal state of one who takes his own life.
If there is a chance that it could wind you up in an everlasting place of torment, it is worth taking a little time to consider all the alternatives! When JESUS walked the earth HE taught the people all about HIS FATHER'S home in Heaven. It is important to note that JESUS taught more about hell then about Heaven! That speaks to the fact that hell is a horrible place and no one wants to go there! No one, that includes you! On the basis of what might be the case, you do not want to take the chance, especially when your answers are so close to being fulfilled in you! Look Up! Your help comes from the LORD, the Maker of Heaven and earth.
As hard as it may seem right now to understand, the Word of GOD says that you are loved with an everlasting love. That love is a commitment. Let us try to help.
