Life is precious, the reality is that no one will tell you when you are born into this world, that it would be smooth and easy. Circumstances, culture, your neighbourhood where you lived, your home, your parents may have helped to shape your norms and values. This sometimes affect the way we interact with our environment and people around us. In some circumstances we find that we can become bitter, negative and cultivate a habit of blame, but there is someone who will transform your life and bring hope to you. His name is Jesus Christ - the Anointed One.
Every human being born into this world is special, unique and has a purpose. Consider the school teacher in a small town who decided to stay alive so she could train, teach and educate the next generation of men and women. Consider an Albert Einstein who if he had committed suicide, the world would not have known a science genius as him and also benefited from his knowledge and the changes brought about in science by his dedication and hardwork.
Be encouraged, not only to live for yourself but also to think of the lives you will be able to impact and change.
Suicide can often be as a result of not forgiving yourself for an error, a mistake, "or getting over a depressive" period in life. Sometimes it seems and feels unbearable and you want to get away from it all, but this is where we operate from our own knowledge and not the knowledge of the greater one, Christ Jesus. He overcame every form of adversity, he healed the sick, the broken hearted, and the downtrodden.
"He is a lifter of your head".
No scandal, embarassment to family, or "my friends will laugh at me" and "I will not be held in high-esteem by my rich friends or if this news gets known", this is not enough for you to go and kill yourself.
Have you stopped to think that others may have experienced similar feelings or doubts about life but may never reveal this to you because they have found a good way to overcome the storms of life. Don't follow the status quo and the norms of a society. Be content with such things as you have, be encouraged, decide to be happy. Make a conscious effort to be joyful no matter the challenges life throws at you.
Everyone who is born of God overcomes the world and you have been given the ability and divine enablement to overcome. You were created in the image and likeness of God, to function like him, "what great joy!". Let Christ be your life.
You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Phillipian 4 : 13.
You are more than a conquerer in Christ Jesus. Why don' t you accept what he came to do for you today? A life filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory. (1 Peter 1 : 8) Use your faith today as the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious that gold will cause you to triumph always.
You are Blessed.
