Answer: Our hearts go out to those who have thoughts of ending their own lives through suicide. If that is you right now, it may speak of many emotions, such as feelings of hopelessness and despair. You may feel like you are in the deepest pit, and you doubt there is any hope of things getting better. No one seems to care or understand where you are coming from. Life just is not worth living…or is it?

If you will take a few moments to consider letting God truly be God in your life right now, He will prove how big He really is, “for nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 1:37). Perhaps scars from past hurts have resulted in an overwhelming sense of rejection or abandonment. That may lead to self-pity, anger, bitterness, vengeful thoughts, or unhealthy fears that have caused problems in some of your most important relationships.

Why should you not commit suicide? Friend, no matter how bad things are in your life, there is a God of love who is waiting for you to let Him guide you through your tunnel of despair and out into His marvelous light. He is your sure hope. His name is Jesus.

This Jesus, the sinless Son of God, identifies with you in your time of rejection and humiliation. The prophet Isaiah wrote of Him in Isaiah 53:2-6, describing Him as a man who was “despised and rejected” by everyone. His life was full of sorrow and suffering. But the sorrows He bore were not His own; they were ours. He was pierced, wounded, and crushed, all because of our sin. Because of His suffering, our lives can be redeemed and made whole.

Friend, Jesus Christ endured all this so that you might have all your sins forgiven. Whatever weight of guilt you carry, know that He will forgive you if you humbly receive Him as your Savior. “…call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you¼” (Psalm 50:15). Nothing you have ever done is too bad for Jesus to forgive. Some of His choicest servants committed gross sins like murder (Moses), murder and adultery (King David), and physical and emotional abuse (the apostle Paul). Yet they found forgiveness and a new abundant life in the Lord. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Why should you not commit suicide? Friend, God stands ready to repair what is “broken,” namely, the life you have now, the life you want to end by suicide. In Isaiah 61:1-3, the prophet wrote, “The LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor…to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.”

Come to Jesus, and let Him restore your joy and usefulness as you trust Him to begin a new work in your life. He promises to restore the joy you have lost and give you a new spirit to sustain you. Your broken heart is precious to Him: “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise” (Psalm 51:12, 15-17).

Will you accept the Lord as your Savior and Shepherd? He will guide your thoughts and steps—one day at a time—through His Word, the Bible. “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you” (Psalm 32:8). “He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure” (Isaiah 33:6). In Christ, you will still have struggles, but you will now have hope. He is “a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you in your hour of decision.

If you desire to trust Jesus Christ as your Savior, speak these words in your heart to God: “God, I need you in my life. Please forgive me for all that I have done. I place my faith in Jesus Christ and believe that He is my Savior. Please cleanse me, heal me, and restore my joy in life. Thank You for Your love for me and for Jesus’ death on my behalf.”

“The Suicide” by Enrique Imbert – translation from Spanish Isabel Reade

A parable for understanding the effects of suicide has on others …

(You ask why these Korean actors commit suicide? for one reason-They know one another… The chance of a friend or a family member committing suicide because another person they know did so increases by 60 percent….

The Suicide;
At the foot of the open Bible- where was marked in red the verse that would explain everything- he aligned the letters; to his wife, to the judge, to his friends. Then he drank the poison and went to bed.

Nothing. In an hour he got up and looked at the bottle. yes, it was the poison. he was so sure! He increased the dosage and drank another glass. he went back to bed. Another hour. He was not dying. Then he shot his revolver against his temple. What joke was this? Someone-but who, when? someone had exchanged his poison for water, his bullets for blank cartridges. He shot the four other bullets against his temple. Useless. He closed the Bible, gathered up the letters and went out of the room just as the owner of the hotel, servants and curious people were running up, alarmed at the noise of the five shots.

Arriving at his house he found his wife poisoned and his five children on the floor, each with a bullet wound in the temple.

He took the kitchen knife, bared his stomach and began clashing at himself. The blade would sink into the soft flesh and come clean as water after a fish is caught.

He poured naptha over his clothes and the matches would go out hissing.

He ran to the balcony, and before jumping he could see a crowd of men and women lying in the street bleeding from their knifed stomach, amid the flames of the burning city.”

The end.

Ask yourself- Do you want your loved ones or someone you know to disappear because of your actions? Don’t do it!! Think of them first…

I suffer myself from depression. I remind myself how much I love my loved ones and I read this parable to keep me form ever doing anything rash.. What you do affects others… Remember this… remember you are God’s child and much loved.

It is time to let the press, the internet rumors goes…Please be strong. There are a lot more people would beleive in a nice person. We are not stupid, we are not easy to be fooled, and we know how to forget and forgive. Please do not kill yourself for such nonsense. One way to beat such heartless, and indifferent of the news reporting, the sensationalism of the press to sell newspaper s is to be able to laugh at them. Most of the time, they are only good for starting fire in the fireplace. I am so disappointed in humanity, so cruel at time….

It is with great disappointment that I have learned this morning about the passing of one of Korea’s most famous actresses. It was at sometime in the 90’s that I first started following the actress and her career. She was an inspiration to most of the stars on Korean TV programs and in the movies. It is sad to say this, having never met the lady, but felt I knew her more than some of her friends. If you can call them friends? I remember the disappointment I felt for her at the time she was to get married and her now X-husband raised such a stink about her apparell. She was an angel among all of us, and maybe she has finally found her peace within the loving arms of GOD. She is at rest now, and we should all remember her for the things she gave each of us who knew her, either by her performance or personally. Choi, Jin Shil, you will be remembered, and I ask all of you to now let her rest. To all the other stars in Korea, I would like to say, CHANGE!!!!!!!! Bye bye Miss Choi and God Bless
