Savenaca Vakaliwali­wa, Suva

Now we are being told that there are more suicide deaths in Fiji than those who die on our roads.zPlease, if you are contemplat­ing suicide, take a moment from all the problems that are driving you to make that exit call and just look at Jesus!

If you know someone or see signs that one is contemplat­ing suicide then please ask the person to take a look at Jesus! The Bible teaches that He is our Creator, who became a human being, lived a sinless life, so He can be the Lamb of God that takes away all the sins of humanity. Whatever we are facing that is driving us to commit suicide, He has carried them all and nailed with Him to the cross at Calvary 2000 years ago, so that we can all be set free.

He loves us all so much that He is willing to die for us so that we could live, not only in this life, but also in the coming eternal life.

Whatever problems we are having, the Bible commands us to cast all our burdens on Him because He cares for all of us.First, we must invite Jesus into our hearts and allow Him to transform us and empower us through His Spirit.

You will be surprised that at this point, whatever that is driving you to suicide has miraculous­ly disappeare­d, before you even cast it out on Him!

So whatever problems that come our way: Try Jesus, He never fails!
