Suicide
By Tammi

Since you are reading this you are in one of three places: You are curious, suicide has touched your life through a loved one or friend, or you are very unhappy with where you are at in life and are considering ending your life. My heart goes out to the lonely and the depressed as it is a very heavy situation to be in. We all feel defeated at times and feel there is no one who can help or solve the situations we face. It feels as though our world has crumbled around us and nobody seems to care. Those feelings and situations are awful - there is no doubt about that. But consider what your options are. You do have other options.

If you could start your life over right at this moment, brand new, would you? If you could have the past become a memory and begin a total healing, would you? If you could have the hurt, loneliness, terrible situations replaced with peace, love, and hope, would you? If there was someone you could trust no matter what and would always be faithful, would you? There is someone, and there is a way. But only one way.

You see God created you and has a plan for you and your life. You can't see it right now from where you are standing but through Him you will learn of His will - if you only give Him a chance. He loves you and wants the best for you. But you have to allow Him to give the best to you.

Maybe you have known of the Lord but you don't know Him personally. You have never had an intimate day to day relationship with Him. You can change that right now.

Maybe you don't believe in God - - even so, He believes in you and loves you. Let Him prove Himself and His love for you. Give Him a chance.

Maybe you know the Lord but have taken your eyes off Him and looked inward. It will only take a prayer to change. Why wait?

Wherever you are at in your life, whatever problems you face, however you feel, God is bigger and He cares. You may not see how there is any hope from where you stand right now but there is:
Mark 10:27b ..With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

He sent His Son to cleanse us from sin because of His love for all - His love for you.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Everyone falls short and everyone makes mistakes. There is no one that does not sin.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

All sin can be forgiven. God always welcomes you with open arms and is faithful to forgive us even when we don't deserve it. All we must do is seek His forgiveness, ask, and try our best to turn away from the sins. He knows our hearts
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we ask Him and stay focused on Him he will always give us a way out of our temptations.
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

You may feel like you cannot go on - but with God - you can through His strength and His will.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Are you tired of feeling depressed and down? Lonely? Are your burdens so heavy you feel you can't go on? God's word tells us:
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Lets begin your life brand new. Lay all your burdens at His feet. Let God show you His love for you. Are you ready to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior and ask Him into your life so that He can begin a healing in you? There is only one way to Christ and one way to heaven. The bible says:
John 14:16 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The bible says to begin fresh in Christ that you must:
Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Can you confess Jesus is Lord and believe on Him? If not, you can pray to Him to help your unbelief and to make Himself real to you. Read His bible and learn of Him and spend the next few weeks getting to know about Him. Pray to Him when you first wake up and when you go to bed and everytime in between that you feel prompted to. God will begin a work in you and allow you to know of His glory. You will know Him of your own experience of Him in your day to day life.

If you believe on Him, pray to ask Him into your heart. You only need to say a simple prayer in your own words as if you were talking to a friend - - because my friend - - you are. He is your friend. A simple prayer can go something like this:
Father, I know that I am a sinner. I believe Christ died for my sins and God raised Him from the dead. Come into my life Lord Jesus and save me and wash my sins away. Thank you. In Jesus name - amen.

If you've prayed to receive Christ or for Him to make Himself known to you. Please E-mail me that I can rejoice with you. If you are unsure what to do or feel confused and in need of someone to listen, feel free to E-mail me. I will listen and write you back and direct you to scriptures that could minister to your particular needs. If you do not write to me, reach out to someone that you can trust. If you do not know of anyone personally seek out a bible believing church and speak to the pastor. No matter what your decision, you are a creation of God and He loves you. There is hope - don't give up. Turn things over to God - He is hope. Please write - Tammi

Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
