Dying Is Not an Option
I speak this day to the saints of God and the would be saints. To those who labor in bondage of a type where you hate where you are in life. You look for hope. To them that say there is no hope an in the land of the living is another tomorrow of where yesterday ended.
How be it the living God created living beings to wage war against self. Yes, self, flesh and spirit wage war in our members. No one person's battle is of the same, however the common regonition is the battle.
We travel into enemy territory; we see the living dead, yet we continue to press because it is known there is a calmness, stillness, and peace ahead.
Often we are still long enough to receive the knowledge that is needed to renew the mind. We are given in for a moment to reflect on the substance of nothingness but we don't find what we want so we go a little further;
Take a look around, for the living God is near to us yet sometimes the burden becomes somewhat unbalanced and we began to suffer physically, mentally and above all we suffer spiritually. Paul said when he was caught up to the third heaven he didn't know if was in body or out of body. There was one thing he was sure of and that is, he had a thorn in his side that was like a messager from Satan; He wanted Jesus to remove it but Jesus said my grace is sufficient so Paul had to live with that thorn whatever it was.
Paul never gave up, "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed." (1 Cor 4: 8, 9)
Whatever you may be going through if it is not for Christ's sake, dying is not an option.
