“Higher and higher i climb with death filtering through my mind. I no longer have hope and each time my mind was finally ready to end it all, I think of something to drink, or stand on the end of a bridge ready to jump and so on” Tofunmi said as she was explaining to Sis Dunsin, the counselor.
“It always seem like it would be quick and cheap. People do not understand what it feels like, they think they do but I only know what it feels like. Sometimes, it feels like i am suffocated in fake love, fake people, etc. Nobody loves me right?” She said. “Everybody does but the strange voices talking to your mind, does not love you” Sis Dunsin replied.
“Strange voices” Tofunmi asked in awe. “Yes, Who told you or Where is it written that death is the right way to end failure, heartbreaks, lack of parental love, trust and so on. Tell me? Dunsin ended her words.
1Cor 10:13. There is no temptation you are going through that nobody has not passed through. Still, in the midst of this, God is faithful, he would provide a way out. We tend to give filtered excuses by using Death. Nobody has been the head and has never been a tail but not being able to maintain the move to the head, makes you stay as the tail.
There is room for progress, because you failed so many times does not make you a failure, or your relationship fails several times, or nobody loved you genuinely, etc should not make you conclude. There is still chance for progress, do not give up. What are you going through , Depression.
When men says there is a casting down, God is saying there is a lifting up. It is better to have the pain now, so that you can deliver the victory than having the victory now and having the pain later.
Those voices telling you to die are not from God. God's spirit bear witness of peace, joy, love, etc and not of destruction and pain.
DO NOT QUIT SOON. CHOOSE TO LIVE AND NOT TO DIE.
God bless and I love you. Yes, you!!!
