Free to Go

God may forgive suicide. We punish ourselves by committing such acts. Suicide is proof of man's ultimate free will. It's the one thing God has no control over. When we commit suicide, we cut ourselves short of the beautiful goal that God has waiting for us. We also separate ourselves from our loved ones, at least until they may join us in the next world.

There are often circumstances that may justify suicide as an act of mercy, such as having a terminal illness or being wrongfully convicted of a despicable crime. But Jesus did not escape his crucifixion with suicide, though he saw his painful death coming and begged God to 'take this cup of suffering' from him. With Jesus as my example, I endure the unendurable every day. The more we put up with in this life, the better we will have it in the next.

If you're contemplating suicide, try to look at your turmoil objectively. Compare your lot with the lot of others. Consider the feelings of your loved ones. Take into account that your life here is not permanent. And open your heart to God's perfect love. You'll make it.
