FJWL_02:216
         I am the Maker of life! I love life and I give life, and I call each one Home in My time, according to My purpose. It is not My will that any should take his own life before his time, for this is not according to My highest plan. Satan runs throughout the whole Earth deceiving and seeking whom he may entrap and ensnare and devour. I love life and I give life, but Satan hates life and seeks to destroy it prematurely, to snuff it out and to hinder. He is the author of doubt, discouragement and despair. I would that no man take his life before the appointed time, for this is not My plan.
         Oh children, My children, My heart is pained! I see the hurt. I see the discouragement and doubts and fears that so many are facing in the world today. But you, My children, know Me and you know the truth, and you are most richly blessed! Open your eyes and live! Look up! Take up the challenge!
         You, who have life and know life, be not deceived! Call out to Me and be renewed! Listen not to the lies of Satan! Resist! Stand strong and resist temptation! And know that as you take even the tiniest baby step in My direction, I will take giant leaps for you. Think not to throw your life away, but rather give! Give your life to love others into the Kingdom, and I will sustain you. Give, pour out, and I will pour into you!
         Seek not to end your life, but hold on to Me. Hold on to My Word and live! I pour out the antidote, the healing balm of My Word, to heal the wounds, to chase away the dark clouds of discouragement. (ML #3053)
