Suicide... what are you doing about it?

Sadness.

Depression.

Suicide.

Chances are, you don't like these words, do you?

Why not?

Maybe because you've struggled with them in the past.

I know I have.

Maybe it's the fact that you know - or knew - someone else who struggled with these ideas... and lost.

Whatever the reason, oftentimes we avoid these specific topics, and try to sweep them under the rug.

This is not good.

There are people, especially young people, around the world today struggling with these topics more than ever before and they have no one to talk to. No one to cry with, no one to vent at.

They have nowhere to go.

Nowhere to run.

Nowhere to hide.

But we do.

We have our fellow believers.

We have Jesus.

There are many out there who are trying to do the best they can to help (example below), and they are doing a bang-up job of it!

People like MatPat, Mark Fischbach, Sean McLoughlin, and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. They are titans in this field.

But... they are missing something that keeps them from helping the way that will help to fix the problem permanently.

They are missing Jesus.

But guess what we have?

We have the answer!

The only permanent solution!

The answer that the love of Jesus can pull you out of any pit, and any suicidal path that you get yourself in.

We have the answer!

But what are we doing with it?

Sitting on our thumbs and watching the world burn as we whine and complain about our own problems?

WAKE UP!

There is a dying world out there, what are you doing about it?!

So let's stop being lackadaisical, and let's get out there, and start changing lives.

We can, I know we can.

Let's hit the Enemy in the teeth when he's least expecting it.

Cheering you on,

Malaki S.
