Why suicide is not an option...

Taking away ones life will never be acceptable to God. He gave it to us, it is only Him that can take it away. (Deu 32:39 See now that I, even I am he, and there is no god with me: I make and I make alive. I wound and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.) 

 All humans undergo different struggles in life, may a person be rich, average or poor. And no matter what burden the world may bring in front of our doorsteps, suicide is not the answer to end the problem. And who among us got no problem, anyway? If we have troubles in our hearts that a friend, a relative or whomsoever cannot help us come up with a suffice solution- the most powerful thing to do is kneel down and tell Him all our troubles. If we have done something bad, and that bad thing lead us to such agony, repent and correct what we have done wrong. Taking away our own lives is an add on in the list of our sins. God is so merciful and He forgives those who are sincerely remorsing. (Psalms 103:8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.)

If God is with us, suicide will never be a choice. A man with God is always at peace. People commit suicide if there is no more in their hearts. But how can a man be hopeless if He walks with God? He will never anyone who entrusts everything to Him. Life here on earth is really full of heartaches and struggles. So, the best thing we can do is make the most out of it. Our main objective should be focused on not how we can give good lives to our children but on how we can guide them to Him. Not on acquiring properties or any forms of material things for extravagance, but on how to use these things to help other people know God. When Christ, was here on earth, He also suffered from hardships, He should be our example when hardships, temptations and problems come our way. (John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you,  that in Me ye might have peace. In the the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.) 

 God has promised an eternal life for those that will surpass all the trials here on earth. He permits troubles and problems come our way  in this life to strengthen our faith and endurance. Once we endure, He has reserved something for us: Happiness in that which is to come. (I Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nether have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.) Let us all bear in our minds that we are all passing by in this place called earth. There is an eternal life after our lives here end. And once it starts, it will never end. Meaning, investments here on earth are temporal. Its up for us to choose whether we want unending agony, or unending happiness. Feel free to take your pick. The choice will always be ours!
