HOW??

How? So much goes into such a small three letter word.

It is almost as powerful as another three letter word... Why?

How can such things happen?

Why can such things happen?

How can people do this or that?

Why do people do this or that?

How am I where I am today?

Why am I where I am today?

For me the "why" questions in life seem so much easier to answer. I think that knowing the God of the universe makes it easier to answer them. Why does something happen, because God allowed it to happen that way. But a "how" question has more of a human element to it just do to the fact that we do this or that here on earth and it is our own response to life that leaves others with the how.

I don't know if any of that makes sense but as I write this I am only really thinking of one thing and that is suicide. Not that I would do that myself but just about the concept in general. It seems like I have known so many people affected by suicide in the last few years. Not only have these other people been affected by it but these people who have taken there own life I know them, not on a personal level but I have met them before. I have never experienced this first hand but it just blows my mind. A girl from my high school, who I knew fairly well, has just recently gone through the pain of losing her boyfriend due to suicide. She has a blog that I read and just from reading her blog I never want to put someone through that and I hope I never have to go through it either.

I have always wondered HOW can someone do that to themselves and to others around them?? This is ultimately where my post is stemming from. Just from seeing the affect that committing suicide can have on the ones you leave behind I truly believe that doing so is a very selfish act.

Jesus has a plan for each and every person on earth.
How could you just give up on that??
It breaks my heart to read about the after effects of peoples decisions..
RUN TO THE LORD!!!!
