Even If....
My new favorite song Even If by Kutless......
Last week was hard. Really, REALLY hard. I've decided that suicidal thoughts come in many forms. I've had days of actively wanting to kill myself. Last week I didn't want to actually kill myself but I just wanted to die. My friend had a time similar this week. She didn't want to kill herself but wished that someone else would kill her. And it is all suicidal ideations whether it is wanting to kill myself, wanting to die or wanting someone else to take your life. And it is scary.
It is scary to fantasize about dying. Even when I am in a good place I still wonder what it would be like to die. Even when I am loving my life and not overwhelmed with depression, I still wonder what would happen if I took the entire bottle of pills. I still think about it, maybe not all the time, but regularly.
Last week I heard this song for the first time. It is truly what I believe. This song has moved my heart. If my healing never comes, if I struggle with depression, suicidal ideation, and eating disorders for the rest of my life, it won't change WHO God is. He is still good, even if my healing never comes.

Suicidal thoughts, even passive ones like you're describing, are so scary. I'm glad you recognize that they're scary, too, because that means that you've still got at least part of your heart firmly tethered here to earth.
ReplyDeleteIt's so painful to think that we may struggle for the rest of our lives, but you are so right that it does NOT change who God is. Furthermore, it does NOT change our capacity to bring the Kingdom of God to earth.
That said, I am praying for your healing. You deserve a beautiful life.
