Are you so downhearted you want to die? Hear what God is saying to you!

JOY journal
God’s heart is turned toward you!

YOU are loved, no matter what Satan or anyone else has told you.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (Jesus speaking in John 3:16)

This “whosoever” love includes YOU no matter what you’ve done.

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” (Jesus speaking in John 3:17)

This love is for YOU no matter who you are.

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” (the Apostle Paul speaking in Galatians 3:28)

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” (the Apostle Peter speaking in Acts 10:34-35)

God loves second chances, third chances, 10th chances because God loves YOU! Take Him up on His offer and start over!

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Acts 2:21)

  1. Interesting and informative.
    Your post reminded me of Islamic rulings that explicitly forbids suicide. Life is an opportunity to improve ourselves by doing good and abstaining from evil and sinful deeds.

    Clearly, Almighty loves us all his creation and is always ready to forgive if the repentance is sincere. He is indeed the most merciful and beneficent.
    May almighty guide and bless you, Nora.
    best wishes and regards. 🙂

    1. Maybe kind people feel the world’s hurt more, but I think everyone is hurting right now. So much instability, danger, death. I am trying to keep my focus on Jesus and living each day as it comes. It’s not always easy!!
