Never Give Up Hope – Message from a Christian
In the Bible at least six people committed suicide being: Abimelech, Saul, Ahitophel, Judas, and Zimri. Samson would mark the 6th one but there is a debate as to if he did it or was killed by someone else. The Bible frowns at suicide and views it as if someone had murdered another person because it really is murder of the self if you stop and think about it. God should be the one that decides how and when someone dies. That person should not do it themselves and if they do they profit nothing but gain misery because it will lead you to hell forever. Once you do that, you can not turn back. For both the ones that believe and don’t believe suicide is very hurtful to everyone and leaves a lot of people in pain. When you have committed suicide because you are tired of the way things are, or you just don’t have any more hope you have no idea what good might have happened in your future if you would have waited and had faith that things would change and turn around. It might sometimes take years, or just a few days before something positive happens but when you believe and trust in God just remember that all things are possible for those that love and serve him. If you don’t believe in him then give him a chance and let him wrap his arms around you. Things might not change over night but when you trust in God your heart starts to change and you know that you can make it plus that there is hope out there for you. Lets say that someone is walking down the street and gets hit by a bus, you might have been close by and could have saved that person from death. What if a child falls down and is unable to get up but need someone else’s help there and no one else is there because you committed suicide? You never know what is ahead and who might have needed your help but didn’t get it because you took your life away before time. You might be surprised at how many people it can hurt and not only now but in the future. In order to move forward you have to let go of the past and learn to forgive yourself plus others. Once you have let go then you will be able to move on and your life can become a beacon of light that the world needs. It is very easy to feel down and depressed when you are alone, or if someone just died in your family but there is hope out there and you are never alone because Jesus cares for you and he is there waiting for you. If you are saved and going through a hard time turn everything over to Jesus. Everyone is tested and each one of us has a different story to tell but when we lean on him he can help us. This might have happened to increase your faith, or maybe what is happening might help someone else later when they are going through the same thing. Reach out and put your faith and trust in Jesus because he has not forsaken you, and he loves you. Jesus did not come to kill, steal, and destroy. He came to give life and if you take it away you are missing out on all of the miracles and blessings that is to come. When you feel that there is no hope, or that nothing is working out just kneel down and ask Jesus for help, ask him to forgive you of your sins and talk with him as if he is there in the room with you. Don’t hold back the tears and emotions just let it all go and stand up renewed, refreshed, and remember that “All things are possible for those that fully believe in Jesus” Mark 9:23. P.S.
