Today I have been worshipping the Lord through watching videos of powerful Christian music. If we will permit it, God-glorifying worship music has the ability to take us out of our all-consuming focus on self, as it reaches deep down into our soul. If the music is speaking to us about the overwhelming love of God...we can actually be transformed by it. I have been watching non-Christians react to Christian music on you-tube. When the words are focused on worshipping God and His abundant goodness, they can sense it. It is powerful and moving. Many non-Christians are overcome with thoughts of suicide as darkness threatens to take their sanity, and sadly life. But God has a different story for those willing to listen to His message. This is the "good news" of the gospel. The gospel will turn your life around when you believe it and give your life over to Jesus and ask Him to do something beautiful with what you give Him.
SUICIDE DOESN'T NEED TO BE A PART OF OUR THOUGHTS. When those thoughts are swirling around in our head, Satan is speaking to us because he wants to take us out of this world. SATAN IS THE AUTHOR OF SUICIDE. SATAN'S JOB IS TO TORMENT YOU AND MAKE YOU HATE YOUR LIFE. HE WANTS TO LEAVE YOU HOPELESS AND DESPONDENT, SO HE TELLS YOU THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN ESCAPE THESE THOUGHTS IS TO KILL YOURSELF. SATAN HAS NOTHING GOOD TO GIVE YOU, AS HE'S THE AUTHOR OF DESTRUCTION, EVIL, AND SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS.
Unfortunately, because so many have been taught almost nothing about God, evil spirits, or Satan, they spend their entire lives in torment. They are not aware that Satan’s sole job is to mess with our minds to the point that we lose all hope in this present life. Read the verse below and discover for yourself that Scripture tells us that the thief (Satan), desires nothing more than to first steal from us... and then destroy us by getting us to kill ourselves.
John 10:10 tells us: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
Notice that the second sentence in this verse is Jesus speaking. He is stating that His purpose is different than Satan's. His PURPOSE is to give life and He gives it to us abundantly. So, I encourage you today if you suffer from despair, depression, or suicidal thoughts to read these words and then click on the song and listen to it. Then ask Jesus to come in and save you from your hopelessness and utter despair.
We are lost without God, until we recognize our need and ask Him to come into our heart and SAVE us.

(1) Reckless Love (Official Lyric Video) - YouTube
Before I spoke a word
You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath
You breathed Your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down
Fights 'til I'm found
Leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it and I don't deserve it
Still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God, yeah
When I was Your foe
Still, Your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me
When I felt no worth
You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down
Fights 'til I'm found
Leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it and I don't deserve it
Still, You give yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God, yeah
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down
Fights 'til I'm found
Leaves the ninety-nine
And I couldn't earn it and I don't deserve it
Still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending
Reckless love of God, yeah
