One Million Suicides every year Weclome to WOWFaith

Lets find out what God says about one of the most preventable tragedies in our lives today-suicide.

"One Million suicides every year!"

It is estimated that there are over 800,000 suicides in the world annually

Did they receive unconditional love and total forgiveness?

Some of you are hurting right now, And are going through the lowest moments of your life. It's sad to say over one million people who are suffering through their own personal tragedies choose suicide every year because they feel hopeless or the people closes to them make them feel ashamed, unworthy and unloved.

How many millions of others are suffering in silence and despair. It could be a father who is now homeless because of a divorce, A police officer who accidentally took a life because of poor judgment. A student dealing with over whelming peer pressure. A parent or family member who tries to say or do the right thing but everything just keeps getting worse. A gang member whose trying to do something positive for his community and doesn't get the support, Or a woman in a abusive relationship. Why do bad things happen?

According to the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health, suicide is the ninth leading cause of death in the United States, and perhaps most tragically is the third leading cause of death among young people aged 15 to 24.

All of you and countless others with different senarios have something happening to you right now that all of you have in common. All of you are being forged by the "Fires of adversity" for a divine reason for the greater good. We need to understand this truth and that everything that is happening to each and everyone of you is not by accident or coincidence. That our destiny is just part of a far bigger design that is in Gods plan.

What is His plan? To turn your adversity in your life into a blessing so that you can glorify God in everything that you say and do.Once you recognize this spiritual truth, then you will start to accept your purpose in life instead of keep asking God "Why me Lord?" The truth is God will never leave you and He will never waste one of your tears. Why does God allow adversity to happen?

I'm here to tell you that whatever you have been going through in your life, that there have been countless others including myself that have been where you are right now. I want you to know that there is real hope for you, that God wants to turn the circumstances that you are in right now around and to share His blessings and miracles with you. To be continually blessed by God you must first be a member of His family. (know in 5 seconds)

God does not want you to become hopeless with despair trying to fix your own problems by yourself, He wants you to turn to Him. How can we give God the glory and the credit unless we first turn to Him for help? Does this method work? God has delivered me out of every dramatic situation that I have ever been in and not one time did He ever leave me or forsake me. You will see that He does care about each one of us, And He wants to do the same for you. God has my back so bring it on!

"You must be truly comfortable with your unique past, You cannot successfully deal with everything that God wants you to uniquely do, Until you can successfully deal with God on everything that you have been uniquely through!"

I know that there are so many people who are reading this who are suffering right now, and some of you have even thought of suicide because you just can't stand the life your in, that it's going nowhere, that you feel trapped with no where to go.

I want you to know that God will never give you more that you can bear. One of the main difference between those who think about suicide and those who commit suicide is, those who think about it are still clinging onto hope, and those who have committed suicide feel that they have exhausted all their resources.

For those who are suffering right now and the pain seems so unbearable. I want you to promise me that you will never commit suicide. I will never shame you and neither will God. (read: God sees no skeletons in your closet) There is so much in your life for you to live for.

Suicide happens to people when they feel they no longer have any resources left to deal with the pain, suffering and overwhelming grief that they are experiencing in their lives. The great news is the resources of God's blessings that He wants to give you in your life never run out. Read: Good Cop/Bad Cop?

"Your life is not over, but just starting to blossom with God's blessings through out your destiny!" There's not one Biblical character in the Bible that has not went through their own "fires of adversity." We have to remember when we go through these "slices of our life" is that they don't last, it just seems like they do.

Our enemy Satan wants to overwhelm you with guilt and shame about these slices of your life that you are going through, as who you are as a total person. When in reality these are just brief moments of your life compared to your entire life time. Never allow no one to shame you or make you feel frozen in fear of what will other people think of you. God's truth is simple, none of us are righteous and all of us have sinned in God's eyes. So shake off any one's guilt trip of trying to make you feel less than them. "For all sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)

"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (I John 1:10)

Jesus did not come here to condemn the world, He came to save it. Anyone who tries to judge others will instantly be judged by God and none of us are worthy to be judged.

God's Word makes it very simple on how we will know if we truly know and love God by how we treat others.

"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." 1 John 4: 7-8

My Mother has always taught me that we should never validate our self worth with others, because we will always let each other down because we are not perfect. That we have nothing to worry about if we validate our self worth with what God thinks of us.

Only God validates your self worth

Remember God will never give you more than you can bear. God does not want you to just sit there burning up in your fires of your adversity. He wants you to turn to Him, so that you can rise up out of the ashes of your despair and glorify God to others that He will never leave you or forsake you.

God has promised that no matter what happens that our time here is but a puff of smoke compared to the eternity that He has in store for us in heaven.

God wants you to know that your life is not over but that your life is just starting to begin and blossom with all of God's blessings, protection and Grace. All you simply have to do is do it God's way! Because God's love is that real and He really does want your life at the highest level! You are unique in all the world

God truly understands your pain and suffering and He will show you that where you have been, He's been there also, just when you think that nobody really understands you. You will know that God truly does understand you, that He does believe in you!

God wants you to know in your heart of hearts, whether your a male or a female, young or old that God did not come here to judge you and to condemn you. But to show you a life of unconditional love and a life of total forgiveness. That He came here to share with you the greatest story ever told of love and sacrifice.

God wants you to rise above your ashes of your adversity so that He can turn one of the lowest moments in your life into a blessing so that you can share with others what God has done for you as well as what He can do for them also. God's Plan of Salvation

Just like God want's you to help out others by sharing what He has done for you in your faith-walk with Him. God wants me to help those who are hurting right now by sharing what He has done for me in my life against adversity. ( In my book: God has my back so bring it on! Coming out early 2008 - Read my chapter: "God does not play your game of shame" - and read another chapter on shame proofing titled: "There is no shame in victory")

My book is not just a collection of stories about violence, despair, shame, death, etc... It's also about true stories of hope, faith, honor, redemption and perseverance. And what God did in everyone of my different senarios to triumph over each of the lowest moments in my life and turn each one into total victory. God was not there for me just some of the time or most of time, but every time.

The most incredible part is that He wants to do the same for you!

You are unique in a wonderful way, give God a chance to show you how He can turn your circumstances around, no matter how overwhelming and hopeless your situation may seem.

It's not important what you did yesterday,

it's important to God what you are going to do today.

You have a purpose and you are worthy of God's love, mercy and forgiveness.

"I will never leave you or forsake you". Hebrews 13:5

God believes in you

God will not waste one of your tears
