Lets give God the Glory!

[dabro]

See in 05 I tried to commit suicide. Didn't happen. Was humble thru dreams and visions by God. He chose me I didn't choose Him. He waited patiently for His prodigal son. I came to Him and said I want to be a part of your Word thats how much I want to know you. Lets give God the glory today and when we are with Him it will be forever and forever.!

Dabro,

Glad to know of your testimony. I too have battled suicidal thoughts in the past. I am not sure what the eternal destiny is for those who do that and I don't want to try and find out. But I have definately had those thoughts while dealing with this disorder. I have realized the best thing I can do, is live out my life the best way I can giving glory to God, and putting my faith in the Word of God when it says things like Romans 8:1 "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Jesus Christ." And in 1 John 4:16 where it says God is love, and then in 1 Corinthians 13:5, that love keeps no record of wrongs. I have decided to just do my best, despite the OCD, and for my life to end not by suicide but naturally whenever the Lord is ready to take me, and let Him judge me. I do know He will do what is right, that He is love, and that He knows I want to be with Him forever.

I was listening to Phil Wickham's song "I will always love you" earlier tonight. The following lyrics struck a chord with me "Hallelujah, the battle is won, let the Church bells ring." It just made me think about how much pain we can experience in life, and discouragement and brokenness we can experience while in this world. The lyrics were a reminder that God has won the battle ultimately; good wins over evil in the end, and it is God and goodness that will reign forever. If we are with God, we can take comfort in the fact that the battle has been won; and we will be with Him forever. Jesus told us in this world we will have trouble, but to take heart because He has overcome the world. If Jesus is our righteousness, we have overcome the world too. It's just a matter of waiting till our bodies are completely healed of earthly afflictions when we go to Heaven. Meanwhile, we have all spiritual blessings in Christ (His Word, His Love, His encouragement, hope, and His promises - and He can be trusted to give us truth.)

What you shared also reminded me of the Scripture:
John 6:37 "All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away."

Glad that you are using this forum Dabro, these forums have given me much comfort and help.

Thank you for sharing the encouragement with all of us here.

God bless you.
