Hey people who follow this blog, or read as they just happen to be going through I felt it on my heart to talk about an issue that was and is very near and dear to me. Also I wanted to say thank-you because if you know me I am not a very loud person and this helps me share my heart, I do apologize, I need to do more of these.
I did cut at one point in my life, almost three years ago, right at the end of high school, I knew I needed help and lied to my counselor saying I did not self harm. About two years later I relapsed and did it one more time. It was my brother and my girlfriend who basically said you do it again I will stab you. I took that to heart, this experience was almost two years ago, so I thank you. Now, don't think that I am going to talk about my experience and really just be a downer.
There was a verse that Jesus showed me, and that I have known to just come to love, its Ephesians 2:10. 10For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. This means that we are designed uniquely and intimately by God, to do what he prepared for us long ago. Which in turn means that you are loved, and you have a purpose.
So with that being said and depression drug usage suicide rates overdoses, things like that on the rise its imperative that those who follow Jesus share the love of Christ within them to those who are experiencing these issues themselves. I feel this on my heart depression that issue is the effect on some type of trauma that that individual is still hanging on to and it has allowed that issue to infect who you are, what you do, because that individual doesn't feel loved or hasn't dealt with that trauma.
The reason I am telling you this is tonight, a friend of mine recently told me I am going to die tonight and regardless of whether she yelled screamed kicked bit whatever I stayed up and texted her until they promised me that they weren't going to do that and went to sleep. Friends love people now more than ever because sometimes you just don't know what someone is experiencing. Or how much a simple hi may mean to someone.
