Over 50,000 people committed suicide in the United States in 2023 alone according to the Centers for Disease Control.
On average, someone ends their own life every 11 minutes in the United States.
Suicide is not an isolated tragedy.
1 in every 3 people knows someone that has taken their own life.
When someone needs love healing depression, you need not be a trained therapist, you just need to let the Holy Spirit guide your actions with them. The Apostle Paul tells us that "... the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."
Galatians 5:22-23
You know that feeling you get when someone else is talking about a really hard season they are experiencing and you immediately identify where they are coming from? Almost like you know what they are going to say next? That is the Holy Spirit working on your behalf. Act on that graciousness and you will demonstrate God's love to another when they need it most.
What is better than having our own suffering being used for something significant and good?
