A reason for living

In Christ we have hope and worth. We have a hope of purpose in this life and reward in the next. We have worth in that we are God’s children; His inheritance for whom He has given His life (Eph 1:18). Hope and worth are critical emotional / spiritual needs for human beings. In recent years the Army’s suicide rate has been rising. Indeed, suicide has almost become a fad among young people. I’m convinced that people end their lives because they lack hope and worth. If you’re at the end of your rope and you just want to stop the pain, look to Jesus. In him your most critical needs are met. He came that we might have life, and have it more abundantly! (Joh 10:10).
