Suicide


Really sorry I didn't finish the video. I will try to write a post or finish recording another one, but for now I hope you guys got the message. I pray for all of you still dealing with these issues. Always know I am here to talk, yupthatskirstin@gmail.com sometimes all you need is a good friend, and I am willing to be that for you, if no one else will.

When I was cutting I never found the reason why it was so bad. Why people would tell me it was so bad and I shouldnt do it. I never understood that. I thought, it is helping with my pain and i am not going to die, so it is fine. As I continued cutting became my habit. It became my only method of dealing with hurt, pain, feelings of regret. Cutting was my back-up tool.

But i no know why cutting is bad......because we aren't ourselves when we have Jesus.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

We shouldn't be making marks and ruining are body with a knife. God gave us other ways in our life to cope with emotions, he does not want us to cut. He actually says this,

Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.
