Today is my younger brother Chris' s Birthday who lost his battle with Suicide. Many believe that if you commit suicide you are doomed to hell. Personally I believe that if it is caused by a mental illness and your mind is not functioning properly you are not technically committing murder. And besides, who except the Lord our God can judge, Amen!
As I was journeying along last week I was praying about him, and this overwhelming feeling of joy filled my heart, and I just had an a abundant feeling he was with the Lord. And who is to say with his last breath he did not ask Jesus into his life.
We all love and miss you little brother and that smile you always had on your face. Rest in peace under Gods wings. You are with me as I walk this journey! ♡♥♡
Hello it's me again Margret! Very nice post! Amen
ReplyDeleteMy brother, a friends husband, your brother and countless others who do this final, desperate act, I feel are not in their right mind or they wouldn't be doing it in the first place. It is a hopeless, desperate act which most of us will never see coming. Rational thinking has no place in it, as in, if I do this God won't forgive me. Perhaps God is, the only one who can forgive them. I cannot agree more Mike, and frankly who needs HIM more than those who do this in desperate times. And my God would not turn his back on anyone who needs him as much as they did. This is not an evil deed. Indeed it is a desperate choice made under duress and for no good reason WE left behind can fathom. So therefore, they know not what they do. My wish is for all those who feel this is there only hope, please know, all you have to do is turn around and someone, somewhere will listen and help you. Don't go.....don't go....someone loves you enough to make a difference you just have to TELL US. I always loved you Mike my friend and more for going out in the world and trying to tell their stories. God is with you on your journey and so are we..
