There have been many times when I wished to cease existing.  So I can relate to that.  But other times, when life is good and joy is full, I would not want to "not be".

I think at the consummation of all things, every creature will be glad "to be".   Perhaps we can be allowed a long nap when we die?  I really don't know what to expect in death.  But I'm not afraid of it.   It is being alive and suffering that I don't much like. 

Sorry I don't have a pat answer for you.

Bless you -

This is how i feel about things ,there are times where things are good and i do not want to cease but then there are alot of times i do feel like i want to cease to exist....

I'm going through a major life change.  Like everything.  I've done this before.  It wasn't all that tough at 20 or 30 or 40 .... but at 60 I'm really scared.  I'm not as strong as I used to be and there is no work out there.  Ill be out of money soon.  I'm pretty sure God will take care of me.  Something will come up.  Or its time for me to go through some REAL trials.  Don't know.

In the natural I've considered checking out more than a few times of late.  It would be so easy.   But then who'd take care of my cat?   :HeartThrob:   I really really love my little kitty.  I'm alone.  I have no prospects.  I'll be lucky to live just another decade or so.  I've pretty much wasted my life and if I died today I would enter eternity with very little or no reward or crown.  I've believed but that's about it.  I don't think I've ever lead even one person to the Lord.

But I am alive.  I am aware.  Conscious.  I can say yes to Jesus.  I can let him work through me.  Finally.  Because I am broken.  I am nothing ... but a child of God.  It took me 60 years to get here and I've left a trail of sin and hurting people in my wake.  I am so sorry.  But life is worth living because I KNOW God loves me.  I don't know where I'm going but I know who I'm going with and it is very very good.

Don't quit wolverine.  You have a gift.  You know.  You know.

This is a heartfelt testimony ,i really appreciate this post.

[wolverine11989]

But please continue posting scriptures if any of you have any ,i could always use some in my life.

[V.I.D.]

Be where you wanna be .
If you are in the middle ,then be there . Dont go with the spirits and dont go to perish .
Just be yourself and be truly happy . Also love . I do want to believe that you can be what you are ,be good and be happy .Also God may just love you more this way and actualy have a place for you that is ok .I dont know God too much ,but still why not ?
Be where you wanna be and what you wanna be . You deserve to be happy that way .

Your problem is that you dont like it neither in the *heavens * described in the bible neither on earth ,because you are who you are .Why should you die because of this ?Or be unhapy ?

[rosered]

  That waring within us what do you think that is ?
:sigh:   flesh and spirit  life and death  , trying to  do the right thing only to be knocked back down  and humbled  , Let the Lord have His Place in your heart , you will be so blessed !!   the world will hate you , but the world hates the Lord first and   Jesus is the stumbling block  to the world !  :icon_flower:

   I  know  the Lord will prevail!
   you want some awesome scriptures   Jesushandsare kind!   
these do    LIFT US UP !  :HeartThrob:

Eph 2:1 ¶ And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins; 

Eph 2:2   Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 


Eph 2:3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 


Eph 2:4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 

Eph 2:5   Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 

Eph 2:6   And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus: 
Eph 2:7   That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 


Eph 2:8   For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 


Eph 2:9   Not of works, lest any man should boast. 


Eph 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 
Eph 2:11 ¶ Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 


Eph 2:12   That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 


Eph 2:13   But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.  


Eph 2:14 ¶ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us]; 


Eph 2:15   Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace; 

Eph 2:16   And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 

Eph 2:17   And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 


Eph 2:18   For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 

Eph 2:19 ¶ Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 


Eph 2:20   And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]; 
Eph 2:21   In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 


Eph 2:22   In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. 

  THATS  ENCOURAGING  ENOUGH EH ?!!!!  :HeartThrob: rose

[jesushandsarekindhands]

Im not sure if i want to live when God reconciles all to him........for some reason i just want to be wiped from existence(annihilated)........cuz this world is just too much ,so much ignorance ,hateful......cruel people ,almost everybody is out for themselves and don't care who they step on ,almost everything is based on money.....when you have it people love you ,when you don't have it people shun you..........not only that but it seems like people only want you around if they can "use" you to get ahead.......this world is too much for me ,sometimes i just want to off myself because i do not fit in with the world nor do i fit in with Godly people ,im kinda in the middle......................with no type of peace.................idk im just venting ,but this has been a what has been on my mind since i started believing the UR perspective of christianity.............i was wondering if there are people that feel the same????

Yes, i felt the same too in some ways...I wanted to love everyone but found it really hard to do, and ive been used a lot by the 'world' as well, but one day...ONE DAY, all those people that used you will regret it, i mean REALLY regret it and be so sad for what they did.  It will all make sense in the end.  What a great post.

[jesushandsarekindhands]

Lol, this passage just sprung to mind "God has planted eternity in the hearts of man"...you might need to dig it out!

Lol, this passage just sprung to mind "God has planted eternity in the hearts of man"...you might need to dig it out!

Ecc 3:11 He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

The HIDDEN man of the heart J ,[ speaks again for me of the 2 Cs] athou some may see this differently..AMEN  :icon_flower:

 :cloud9: Amen Marc and Taff........the pearl of great price........pearls are the gates to the city in which there is no death........as we become.

It takes a piece of sand (petras/little rock/lively stone) to rub to cause the clam to coat it with a layers and layers until it becomes a precious gem. As we lively stones rub one another and we respond in love, He coats us with Himself, the garment that will never taste of death. We become the gates to the city for others to enter in, by this same love. Love covers a multitude of sins. Blessings.....
