As I sit watching the sunset for the millionth time, there's a part of me that knows that this could be my last. And as I listen to the echoes I fall back into the shadows of what has now become my past. They say whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, well I dont feel any safer and this tunnels getting longer. The empty cave that held my heart has fallen down inside and what has become of me is left for you to decide. If God doesn't hear me and you cant see me then I should just return to my self inflicted misery. And now the days are getting harder and my soul is slowly dying and the only thing that i can do is just to keep on fighting. 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are. Ive decided that it is time to break down the things that are nearest and (ok not dearest) to my heart. These will not be easy for me because a lot of them have to do with me. But I have been shown that it is time to get off my lazy butt and start doing God's will. Here's what I am thinking of studying. *Suicide *Self mutilation (with a strong focus on cutting) *Alcoholism *Drug addiction (IDK if any specific drug will be covered) *Anorexia (this one is a long time coming) They're not in any specific order and I don't know how many will be done soon. If there's one that I feel led to dwell on then I am sorry if I bore you.As soon as I get my good bible back then I will start. If you have any other suggestions or want me to do one or even if you have a story then I will be glad of any help. They're coming....soon. ~Seae~ |

Thank God I failed !!!!!!!!! Later, I could see it as the most selfish thing. I was hurting so---------- but was unable to even see those who loved me,,,,,,,or,,,,,,,,,,, the pain my actions could bring to them ! One Day at a time, God's Precious One !!! Something happened that I thought wouldn't............ the things that I thought were so permanent, were really temporary.God Hand and Blessings be on you !!!!!!!!!! |

| Lead on God, you know that, and do not trust in your own understanding. God will never leave you nor forsake you. He will make your path as sure footed as a deer (Psalms). What Satan meant for evil, God will use for good. Love you sweet lady! |

I can relate to every one on your list for research. Obviously I never killed myself, but the only thing that stopped me was I believed hell was real, and I may end up there. I love how you wrote that top paragraph. You have a gift. I love that emotional artsy fartsy stuff. Awesome! Lord be with you with your research, and give you more and more compassion for those struggling in them. |

Shell I never tried to kill my self literlly, but I was doing it by taking drugs, and I did wish I was dead at times and that's because like you I wanted to be normal and did not know how even though I gave a try a few times. Shells you belong to God now and you have to belive there more to your life than before now your are living for christ and He loves you.GOD’S LOVE IS FORGIVING.We may be able to understand a God who would forgive sinners who come to him for mercy. But a God who tenderly searches for sinners and then joyfully forgives them must possess an extraordinary love! This is the kind of love that prompted Jesus to come to earth to search for lost people and save them. This is the kind of extraordinary love that God has for you. If you feel far from God, don’t despair. He is searching for you.BIBLE READING: Romans 8:28-39KEY BIBLE VERSE: I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39) GOD’S LOVE IS BEYOND MEASURE.These words were written to a church that would soon undergo terrible persecution. In just a few years, Paul’s hypothetical situations would turn into painful realities. This passage reaffirms God’s profound love for his people. No matter what happens to us, no matter where we are, we can never be lost to his love. Suffering should not drive us away from God; it should help us to identify with him further and allow his love to reach us and heal us. |

OUR BODY IS TO BE A LIVING SACRIFICE.When sacrificing an animal according to God’s law, a priest would kill the animal, cut it in pieces, and place it on the altar. Sacrifice was important, but even in the Old Testament God made it clear that obedience from the heart was much more important (see 1 Samuel 15:22; Psalm 40:6; Amos 5:21-24). God wants us to offer ourselves, not animals, as living sacrifices-daily laying aside our own desires to follow him, putting all our energy and resources at his disposal and trusting him to guide us. We do this out of gratitude that our sins have been forgiven.BIBLE READING: 1 Corinthians 6:15-20KEY BIBLE VERSE: Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) GOD’S SPIRIT LIVES IN THE BODIES OF CHRISTIANS.What did Paul mean when he said that our body belongs to God? Many people say they have the right to do whatever they want with their own bodies. Although they think that this is freedom, they are really enslaved to their own desires. When we become Christians, the Holy Spirit fills us and lives within us. Therefore, we no longer own our body. “Bought with a high price” refers to slaves purchased at auction. Christ’s death freed us from sin but also obligates us to his service. If you live in a building owned by someone else, you try not to violate the building rules. Because your body belongs to God, you must not violate his standards for living. |
