About Suicide: On A Personal Note!
Touch God!
Guys, I talked to a lady this morning. Her daughter was terribly ill with severe bi-polar disorder and committed suicide several years ago. “Religious Folk” i.e. some Christians, said her daughter was burning in hell because she committed suicide and mom is still traumatized by this years later.
Hello! This precious child had a chemical imbalance through no fault of hers. My God is compassionate and loving, NOT mean and doling out punishment just because you do not fit into your definition of God’s itsy bitsy box! I do not for one nano second believe that some how that little girl is being punished for the rest of eternity just because she had a chemical imbalance in her physical experience.
I am tired of Christians misrepresenting our faith. I am a Christian and I am proud of it. I know my God to be loving and supportive and compassionate. I enjoy a raving love relationship with My Source. I have never, ever once in my life experienced condemnation from God. I have experienced condemnation from my mind and my misinterpretation of my spiritual relationship with God, but never once from God. I have experienced condemnation from other Christians but never from God.
The scriptures say “Go Boldly before the Throne of Grace that you might obtain mercy and grace in your time of need.”
Thank you Lord for your everlasting Mercy and Grace that defines me and molds me and shapes me to be conformed to your Image ~ In Jesus Name!
Who is willing to stand up for compassion and love, mercy and grace instead of a condemning image of our Lord?
In all my work, I really focus on coming from a place of love. I believe that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. I believe that my spirituality, the essence of who I am is a holographic image of Source, of God. So, God is Love and I am love. That is the center of who I am.
Yes, I get disconnected from that center, as I probably am as I write this post because I do have a ton of strong negative feelings, but at the end of the day, my disconnection does not define me, it merely sends me back to my connection.
When we engage in behavior that pushes others away that is not love.
When we condemn others to hell, that is not love.
What is love is embracing and loving each other and being a support of one another just so we expand and live this life fully.
So, I guess, it would be wise for me to listen to my own sermon and love those that speak separation and condemnation. Afterall, fighting against them only creates more separation and loving them brings more light.
O boy!
Ok, Lord, how do I love on them…..?
Phew!
You are entitled to your opinions and I, mine. Your opinion creates a contrast in me that helps me define more of what I want. I cannot be clear on what I want unless I have something to compare and contrast it against. So this has been great.
Anyone out there, who has a loved one who has experienced leaving this physical plane via making the choice to leave your body deliberately, I offer peace and non judgment to you. I comfort you and I hope in some way, this has contributed to your solace.
Thank you for creating dischord in this area to help me clarify even my own beliefs about God and suicide. So all in all, this has been a wonderful life expanding experience and I appreciate it. Truly, I love you too. For all my pushing against condemnation of suicide, please forgive me. Thank you.
Boy, it feels good to be able to say that in my heart!
It is against God’s law to Judge anyone, and condeming anyone is judging.. When a Preacher tells you that you are going to hell,, he probably would be one that is a greeter at the door…. God says, “Judge not lest ye be Judged”.. that includes these high fluting ministers… they don’t know anymore than anyone else about who is and who is not going to heaven….. have a nice day………
AMEN! Thank you.
That miserable girl had been condemned to a living hell and released herself back to Source. Had she known another way she would have taken it.
Now her mom is living in hell because of ideas and beliefs that do not support aliveness. She deserves to be released energetically.
Forgiveness and compassion all around.

Thank you for posting this and the ho’oponopono prayer you concluded with.
Love & Light,

My sister, who has had MS for several years, always hears from her mother-in-law down that she’s going to hell because she’s not being obedient to her husband. These are Christians who sing, preach and wave their hands in church every Sunday.
I always encourage her to love and bless them. Beliefs kill and beliefs cure….
Bless You.

Thanks Kristin. You do understand.
Like how I slid the Ho’oponopono in there? LOL!
You said it so well, my friend. Beliefs kill and beliefs cure.
Wow…this article hit me like a ton off bricks. One of the reasons I find myself shying away from church and just embracing my spirituality is for this reason. All the judgment, condemnation, fear, etc. I have struggled with bipolar disorder myself and have faced some very dark moments. In those dark moments, it was if I was not in control. I thank God for bringing me the law of attraction into my life and helping me get off all the medications I feel were contributing more to those moments than helping. I surround this girl with love, light and compassion and for her mother. I pray for her torment to end and to receive serenity. I pray for others to learn love themselves and to embrace each other in moments of darkness and not push each other away.
