I don't think most
people want to die. The only reason that I even tried to commit
suicide was the fact that I saw no way other than death. I really
didn't want to die. I was blinded to the other options. I took enough
pills that it should have taken my life. Although, there was just one
problem. My life was not my own to take.
I even prayed, and
ask God to let me die. I have been a firm believer that if you wanted
to die, that God would have to give us His permission to do so. Other
wise, we would have more power that God. If God was the one that
created us, and then breathed the breath of life in us. Wouldn't that
be ludicrous to think that we could be in control of ending our life?
There are way too
many stories of blotched suicide attempts each year. Where there were
plenty of drugs taken, and plenty of ammo that could have been used.
The buildings that people used to jump from were plenty high enough.
The real deal is that they were left alive. Some of them were really
bonged up. Some will never walk again. And some will never have the
capacity to think like they once did, and reason themselves through
life. The fact is that even some of them will be paralyzed from the
neck down, and be in pitiful shape for the rest of their time on this
planet.
I don't even know
what I was thinking when I tried to kill myself. I knew that I was
totally defeated, and that my life was over. I didn't think that I
had anything left to live for, because all that I held as dear to me
had vanished before my eyes. That is a really pitiful state to be in.
I don't know how many of you have experienced this in your life, but
it is a sad situation.
I thought that I
had a relationship with God, even though I knew that I had caused
some real damage within our relationship. I had chosen to be with a
woman that was never my choice to make. She was already another
man's, but I thought that I could work her into my life somehow. I
was a blind fool!!
I was hard core
trying to keep her though. I starting seeing everything in my life
slip away a little at a time. God gave me plenty of time to repent,
and I knew that He was allowing me that time of repentance. Instead
of taking that opportunity to heart, and restoring my life, or at
least stopping my things from vanishing. I decided to curse at God,
and blame Him for my problems.
He kept true to
the form that I knew of Him, and simply backed away from me. I knew
the instant that He moved back. I was too hard hardhearted, and
stubborn to make the move that I needed to make right then. I had to
suffer greatly to get my attention, and that is what I did. I slowly
watched as everything disappeared from my life including my health.
The last day that
I was in my house I packed two backpacks of what that I thought that
I need. Mostly clothes, and general stuff to clean up with. Then I
climbed on my bicycle, and road off to live nowhere. With in two days
my bike had been stolen, and I was down to carrying around one bag.
That was when I knew that my life was over, and I swallowed enough
pills, and beer that my life should have ended that very night.
I woke up the next
morning, and I was very angry with everything that moved!! I could
tell you the events that got me to where I am today, but even though
they are very comical, I am going to choose not to right now. The
real deal is that I am still here today, and loving life like I never
have before. You can plainly see that I did not consider what death
would bring me. I just wanted out, or at least something to really
live for.
I didn't take into
consideration......Nothing!! In my Bible that I live by the best that
I can. We were created by an Eternal God to be Eternal beings. We too
are going to live on after we leave the presence of this world. The
only reason that I think that we are on this earth is to mostly make
a choice. We are to choose between two places with totally different
environments. The good thing is that it is totally going to be our
choice. Our Creator even made sure that we had an owners manual of
how to conduct our lives while making the choice of where that we
want to spend eternity.
Now, I am not
going to try to explain how some folks can commit suicide, while
others like me don't have any success with that process. I am sure
glad that I didn't, because I have a live worth living now!!
…................Much love
