LIE #8: My loved one’s life has ruined my life!
A return to normal life is difficult to imagine. Tears won’t cease. The brain fog doesn’t clear. The pain won’t go away. And, the reminders are everywhere. It seems that life is ruined.
TRUTH: God doesn’t waste a hurt; He uses suffering for our good.
Your life is not ruined because of your loved one’s suicide. God doesn’t waste a hurt; He uses suffering for our good. God can even take something as horrific as a suicide and use it for good. The “good” that God works is our becoming more like Jesus—which is His ultimate purpose for those who know Him. We may not see the good while were are suffering, or even in months and years to come. Yet, we can still walk by faith in God’s promise to work it for our good.
About this Plan
There is no heartache equal to that of losing a loved one. Unanswered questions, despair, and perhaps self-blame can leave those left behind with feelings of hopelessness. This 16-day plan examines biblical examples of suicide as well as the smorgasbord of lies we are tempted to believe in a suicide situation. Replacing these lies with God’s Truth will bring healing and comfort to those left behind.
