I thought that I ran from the spirit of suicide for many a year, yet now that I'm in the arms of Jesus, I see that I ran to that spirit of Satan. Yes, in my despair I ran as quickly as possible, because he had convinced me that there was nothing to fear in dying as a martyr, but great victory in hurting others that didn't rally round me and solve all my problems. Satan had convinced me that the fault could be dumped in the laps of so many others, and won't they be sorry when I'm gone. I thank Jesus for saving me from Satan's disception and from my own ego and rage. But, I was still being deceived by Satan. Everytime I read of another chatter's threats of suicide I ran from it. Geez, what if I say the wrong thing? I'll just hug them and tell them I'll pray for them, which I did. Yes, Satan had deceived me once again -- he convinced me that if I shared God's Truth that it just might be what pushes the volunerable over the edge. It's a lie, it's all a lie. The Truth is Life, and speaking the Truth is never and can never be the tool of death. So let me speak Truth, if you choose to speak of suicide you are speaking of killing a child of God. Just as I no longer accept the lies of Satan for myself, I will not accept the lies of Satan spoken by anyone else nor will I run from them. Jesus is Lord and Savior, He is King of Kings and The Creator. Jesus is Life and Life Abundant. You have a choice. Don't play with fire. Speak Life, speak the name of Jesus. In His love and service.
