How Jesus Set Me Free From Suicide

I used to experience severe depression until God set me free.

For years I was thinking about suicide, but I couldn't go through with it. I decided to give myself a reason to stay. I thought if I could love at least one person a day, I could delay suicide for 7 to 8 billion days. That was before I was saved. I was into the new age then.

I had a major setback after I broke up with a boyfriend I was hoping to marry. At that time, I moved in with my mum. I was in such a dark place then. Although I was feeling suicidal, again, I loved my mum too much to go through with it.

While I was living with my mum, who was a Christian, I would watch Christian programmes with her, but I still did my own thing.  I was spiritually attacked three times by this entity that was trying to kill me. At first, I defeated it with a Bible verse. The other times, I called on God to help me.

After my mum passed, there was now no reason for me to keep on living as the person I loved the most was gone.  One time I got so depressed, I asked a Christian friend to pray for me.

When I finally accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, it's as if the lights were turned on. I could now understand Bible verses I had been struggling with.  I had a breakthrough with these verses:

"For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. [4] When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory."  Colossians 3: 3-4, NKJV

I realised I no longer have my own life. Christ is my life.  Trying to take a life that doesn't belong to me is rather like tryng to sell a property that you are renting. It's illegal. You will soon find yourself in prison.

The truth of Christ as my life set me free from suicidal thoughts and depression and they were replaced with Christ's peace and joy. (John 8: 31 -32)

Thank you, Jesus. ❤️
