To live, or not to live? that is the question... Now, i'm wondering, just because i've felt like giving up before, what makes a person commit suicide? Maybe it's cause:
1) life is too stressful
2) People treat you like they wish you weren't alive
3) Satan's feeding you a lie that you're not going to make it through
4) there is too much pain inside, you could not possibly get over it
5) hormones?
6) parents
7) anger/grief/regrets that you don't want to live with/convictions that you
don't want to deal with
whatever it may be, life isn't easy... Whenever I post something, i'm going to bring up my blog name : 1 Life 1 Purpose... I'm convinced somtimes that the only reason I am here is to Serve the Lord... and maybe that's why I don't give up.... because God's got a plan, and I can't just throw that out of the way when I am considering all of the reasons why living isn't "worth it." Now, don't get me wrong, I don't actually think that I would commit such an act, but I'm pretty sure that many people think about this, and get into those situations where they feel like giving up... I don't think that there are any simple solutions here, but I do believe in hope, and pushing onward to the goal, no matter how hard it may seem... there's got to be something better coming along.. and God promises that.. He tells us that he will make a way, that there is a time for mourning, and a time for joy... If we endure the tests he has for us, we will see in the end that they are only there to mold us, and to make us stronger... And that, my friends, is why we live... 1 To glorify God, and 2 To be molded... Being a Christian includes hard times, struggles, fighting temptations, and pushing onward toward the Goal that God has set for us... There is so much more I could say, but I hope this can be an encouragement for anyone facing hard times... I can't say that you shouldn't feel like giving up, but rather that you shouldn't give up... because to feel like giving up is normal, but letting it control you and the way you act towards the feeling, well, that is called "letting Satan take charge." Don't give up... Weep, mourn, and cry to Jesus, and he will hear you, even if it seems like he is distant, he is near, and will reveal himself in due time.... In Christ,
Lauren
