Dear Readytogo.
MANY of us have been there.
NO God possibly won't be so welcoming or happy. Suicide is the ULTIMATE statement that one lacks Faith and Trust in Him.
Haven't you been through difficult times in the past when you considered suicide only to make it through them and have PRICELESS LIFE EXPERIENCES that you would've missed out on if you'd ended it back then?
What beautiful, wonderful, and priceless things are you gonna miss out on if you commit suicide this time?
THESE ARE TOUGH TIMES but you can make it.
Remember, if you commit suicide you're telling God that you don't trust Him to see you through all this (which will also allow you to help others - who can you help if you don't go through some "stuff"???) and you have no faith in Him either. In Jeremiah God says He knows the plans He has for you. Plans to prosper you etc. You're saying God is lying there. God cannot lie.
Remember Job too. Look what all he went through and his experiences were used to help countless others throughout the ages. He was also RICHLY blessed after he made it through it all.
Gosh I hope you read the things caring people who've been there have written you.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE!!!!!
Jim
