The light of Jesus Christ is in all things and giveth life to all things. It is the influence for good in the hearts of all people who have ever lived or ever will live. That light was given to protect you and teach you. One of its central messages is that life is the most precious of all gifts, a gift which is obtained eternally only through the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As the Light and Life of the World, the Only Begotten Son of God came to give us life by conquering death. We must commit ourselves fully to that gift of life and run to the aid of those who are at risk of giving up this sacred gift.
Whatever your concerns or difficulties, death by su***de is manifestly not the answer. It will not relieve the pain you are feeling or see yourself causing. In a world that so desperately needs all the light it can get, please do not minimize the eternal light God put in your soul before this world was. Talk to someone. Ask for help.
Do not destroy a life that Christ gave His life to preserve. You can bear the struggles of this mortal life because we will help you bear them. You are stronger than you think. Help is available, from others and especially from God. “Fear not: believe only” (Luke 8:50).
We have so much to be glad about. We have each other, and we have Him. Don’t deny us the chance to have you.
