You Do Not Want To Die



You want to end the pain and suffering. There is a difference. You do not want to die. You want to live. The problem is that you believe that your pain and suffering will never end. You've been feeling this agonizing pain for so long. It feels like a life sentence. You do not want to die. You want to live. You just want the pain to end.

The feelings you have indicate to you that deep down inside you know you were made for so much more than you've been living. ‘But, I can't see it… all I see is more pain'. That's because… pain has blinded you from being able to see it.

The truth is …your pain and suffering is temporary. I know temporary feels like forever when you're in pain. Perhaps, you've been in this pain for years and years. But, in view of eternity, it really is only temporary. This life is just a minute compared to eternity. I realize when you are experiencing pain and suffering ….it can be a very long minute. But, as the song says, “troubles don't last always”.

Here's Part Of My Story…

Ten years ago, I desperately wanted to end my life. I made an unsuccessful suicide attempt. And 8 years ago my daddy ended his life by suicide. The horror, pain and emotional wreckage that followed my daddy's death left me desperate to end my pain. There were times I didn't think I could face 5 more minutes of pain...it was definitely the darkest hour of my life. I did not know how to make the pain stop. This went on for years…

Let me tell you why I'm writing to you with such urgency…I want you to CHOOSE TO LIVE. And here's why… Because…

You were created for a unique purpose and destiny you have not yet discovered.

Your life isn't over.

You are not too far gone.

Your life matters.

You have dignity and worth.

You hold the key to unlock your amazing future.

You will make a difference and impact the lives of many.

You can create and enjoy the loving relationships you long for.

You can be happy, laugh, and genuinely smile again.

You can live an extraordinary, successful, and meaningful life.

‘Where is this life you're talking about'?' It's in front of you. You will discover it as you move through your pain and get on the other side of this time in your life… You just need some help navigating through the raging storm you are in. You just need to hear and know that you are not alone.

I know you feel like your life is ship-wrecked and beyond repair. But, you're not beyond help. There's still time for you to unlock the beauty, passion and goodness inside of you. It is there… deep down inside, buried underneath a whole lot of pain. There's still time for you to learn to be yourself, and to love yourself.

Visualize your life without the feelings of isolation, loneliness and despair. Imagine living your life in peace with no guilt and no shame. ‘Is it really possible'? You bet it is! Now, press delete on your past failures. Your past will resolve itself as you move forward and live your life.

You're not a hopeless failure. Don't believe the lies. Other people's opinions about you don't have to become your reality. You choose your reality. Overcome. And learn how to transform your weaknesses into strengths. When this happens, you will be catapulted out of the intensity of emotional pain you've been experiencing. And you will begin to experience a Fresh Start.

You can make it through this storm. You can make it through these trials. You can make it through the pain. You can make it. Hold on. On the other side of this storm you will find new strength, hope, joy, happiness and peace.

There really is something more to live for than the pain and suffering you have endured. As crazy as it seems your pain when transformed will serve a great purpose - for yourself and for others.

Think about this…

There are people in the earth today that you are uniquely assigned to and who need to benefit from that great gift inside of you called purpose and destiny.

Here's The Rest Of My Story… well…

I'll tell you the rest of the story some other time. But the short version is …I asked for help. I found support. And by God's grace I learned how to cope with life...when staying alive was so hard to do.

You matter. Your life matters. You are here by divine design and for a very unique purpose. There's no one else like you on the planet. No one! And no one can do what you were created to do. No one can accomplish your destiny. And people are waiting on you to fulfill your divine assignment.

So, what is it? And what do you want your life to be about? It's okay if you don't know the answer to those questions just yet. But, start dreaming again. Because, you're life as you know it will change. Better days are just around the corner. Believe it!
