SUICIDE DID YOU KNOW: FACT 600,000 Suicides Per Year 2,000,000 Attempts each year by Teens and Youths Suicide is Destroying Lives Every Day If You Hear Anyone "Joking" About Killing Themselves, Make Sure You Listen!! And Talk To Them. It May NOT Be A "JOKE"! I took about 50 non-aspirin tablets and then told everyone (or the family) the good news....I was dying. My family completely flipped out. I found out that they really did care a lot for me. I overheard the doctor telling my folks at the hospital, that I really should be dead by now. He could not understand why I was still alive. But I knew! I had started praying with all my heart for the Lord to let me live, for I had many reasons now. My number one reason to live was for my family's sake, because they did indeed love me very much. I did not receive counselling for this. I received a much better solution. The Bible and Christian friends helped me through this. I know now what I should have done...I should have turned to Christ before the agonising pain of almost taking my life (1 John 4:4) - Becca J In 1982, after running away from the Lord for 7 years and hiding behind drugs, alcohol and deception, I felt as though no one cared and daily desired to end my life. But the Lord kept telling me how much He loved me. After many arguments with Him that I wasn't the type of person He would want, I finally surrendered my life and repented. Overnight, He changed my life (2 Cor 5:17). My husband and I are now children's pastors (Eph 2:10). Jesus' love and compassion is from everlasting, to everlasting even when you don't deserve it! He is the God that "sees" when you are hurting, are rejected, and in pain. He said He would never leave us nor forsake us even in the most desperate of times (Heb 13:5). I know, I've been there... - Dawn. I looked for life's answers in a Ouija board. A friend and I asked the "game" who we were talking with. It spelled out satan. Could we speak with someone else? It said "no". In short order, I lost my job, was broke and my unemployment checks weren't coming in. My cat bit a huge hole in my foot. I couldn't walk or work. A changed pain prescription almost killed me! I found HOPE on the 700 Club on TV. I said the prayer with Pat Robertson. When morning came, the grass was greener and the sky bluer than it had ever been. NO ONE could make me angry, I had a smile from ear to ear! I finally met the man of my dreams and his name was JESUS! My finances turned around, and my friends thought my sudden charity was a suicidal sign. Actually, I did die because "I am crucified with Christ, and yet I live, not I but Christ who lives within me." (Gal 2:20). AMEN! - Kimberly Elizabeth |
