Suicides:
The
picture shows a young man who killed many people and killed
himself some years ago in the United States of America. But do you wonder why
people commit suicide or even contemplate it?
Nearly
80% of persons who commit suicide, give definite warnings and/or clues about
their suicidal intentions. Suicidal persons are fully intent on dying. Although
a suicidal person is often extremely unhappy, he/she is not necessarily
mentally ill. The management of suicide, therefore, lies in preventing the act.
Please take all suicidal threats, gestures and/or attempts from anyone you know
seriously. Make sure you notify a psychiatrist or a mental health professional.
The psychiatrist will quantify the seriousness of the situation and take proper
precautionary measures. Save a life today. But for those of us who believe in
the awesome power of God, we can take it to the Lord in prayer. Judas Iscariot
committed suicide because of the despair of betraying the innocent
God-made-man, Jesus Christ. But even when we sin against God, and our hearts
convict us the Holy Bible tells us that God is greater than our hearts and can
and will forgive the sins we commit if only we repent, confess and receive His
mercy like the lesson Jesus taught us in the parable of the prodigal son.
Suicide is as grievous as murder, but in it there is no repentance, because
after death is judgment; there is no repentance in the grave! Truly save a life
today and show love to someone who is considering suicide.
