      Real Stories it doesn’t work I had tried to talk to someone trough the web site and they told me that I was in line waiting that I was the 23 on the line it took at least 25 minutes and I was still waiting and I finally gave up . I’m just saying this as a example .... if someone needs help why do people have to wait for so long? The crisis hotline it when thing get very bad, not to just talk to someone.
      My point is,, people should not wait for so long if they really want to stop this evil from taking lives.

      This Documentary should go Viral, because this Dude has Meaningful words that can potentially Help people through the struggles.
      This Documentary truly means a lot to me, and I watch these kind of Documentaries when I am Seriously sad.
      These Days, It's bloody Difficult to keep Emotions at Bay, because eventually as time goes on In our lives, our Medical Bodies Become drained, as well as our Minds do.
      I Believe the Main cause of Suicidal Depression, Is Bad Insomnia and Poverty, and worrying about where and when you are going to get your next bite to eat!!!!
      Insomnia and Poverty are the worst, because I suffer with It majority of the time.

      Depression is an illness. Just like any other illness. It needs to be treated. 100% agree with you that if you haven’t suffered from this cruel illness you’ll never know why or how someone could take their own life. Just like other illnesses unfortunately some loose their battle with major depression.

      You make it sound so simple. It's not.
      I became chronically ill 12 years ago and after suffering from crippling depression all my life. I became suicidal and tried to take my life twice. My illness forced me to make gigantic changes in my life that I never would have if I hadn't gotten ill.
      The silver lining to my story is I am happier now than I have ever been in my life. The biggest change I made besides no longer being able to work was getting rid of my family because I could no longer handle their toxicity. It was making the symptoms of my illness much worse.
      Like I said. It's not that simple.

Her family wasn’t really fond of me due to issues with drugs in my past but I’ve been clean years and got my own roofing business. I gave her son a job after he’d been sacked from multiple others. I used to pay her other son to post leaflets for me. But due to my past I was ostracised!, wasn’t allowed to funeral and left in dark as to what happened. I’ve come to accept that their not worth it!, anyone who had anything about them would have put how they feel aside for sake of daughter cos I know 💯 she would have wanted me their! She was my world!💔 I can only imagine the hurt n pain your suffering

    Depression is a lot like being haunted by a ghost. Only you can see and feel the the immense pain it is causing and if you tell someone about it they will tell you it doesn’t exist. And for some not existing is the only way to be rid of it for good after fighting a losing battle alone. No one wakes up one day and decides to die, that decision only comes from years of suffering of every minute of every day and if you say someone who suicides is selfish or cowardly then you have not known what it is to have Depression come knocking.

    After two large single malts I hope I'm not going to regret sharing this tomorrow morning. I lost my brother to suicide in 2016. He too was a talented musician so when we didn't hear from him for several weeks we weren't too concerned; he often disappeared incommunicado on foreign tours for months at a time. The result was that he was only discovered in his flat three months after he'd taken his own life. It was truly heartbreaking. He and I had become estranged after a terrible argument and I was convinced that he hated my guts. On clearing his flat I discovered a box in which he'd kept every birthday card, Christmas card and letter I'd ever sent him since we were little kids. By then I was 55 and he was 49 - how wrong could I have been about his feelings ? He must have really loved me and I must really have hurt him without realising it. I wish I'd had the modesty and kindness of heart to have sought him out and tried harder to build bridges and discover the root of his pain before it was too late. I don't exactly feel guilty, but I do feel terrible regret that I allowed communications to collapse so completely between us. The two key elements which struck me in this video are that: 1) non-communication between loved-ones only ever ends badly and 2) knowing that you were in the right over some trivial disagreement is meagre consolation after the other person has taken their own life. However repeatedly a loved-one drives you away and however unkindly they treat you, always leave the door to return ajar; you may live to regret that you didn't. I certainly did.

  • @tookitogo
    @tookitogo 5 лет назад +305

    The insidious thing about depression is how it completely distorts your perception, robbing you of the ability to feel joy, and robbing you of your self-worth. You are literally unable to see your own value. If others say something good about you, you don’t believe them. You end up feeling like a burden. So between that and the pain of feeling like a failure, suicide sometimes feels like a sensible option.

      I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

      Are you telling yourself you all those terrible things, or are there other people telling you these things? Your son must've asked you to promise that because he loves you - and a lot about you - and wants you to be with him.
      What is the best thing about you? No matter how obscure you think it might be.

    As someone who is married to someone with treatment resistant depression, two brothers who have died of suicide and I have ptsd myself (and I've lost count how many friends now, sadly). It's like dying from cancer in a way. Our natural instinct to survive at all costs is totally out of our control, fight or flight, gets overridden by brain malfunctioning. It's a medical emergency that needs immediate attention. If the person fighting whichever mental health disorder dies from it, it's not because the healthy them wanted or decided to. It's because they lost the fight with a fatal illness. It's hard to understand, and deaths from suicide will always leave those left behind feeling guilt, at fault, blame, and a whole heap of emotions by not understanding, or feeling like they weren't 'good enough to live for.' Please, let me tell anyone reading this who has lost someone. I promise it wasn't you. And anyone reading this who feels at risk, please seek immediate medical help. We want you here.

      It is VERY unusual to take ones own life. Why has it been on the rise for the last 50 years? I believe these people have suffered a brain injury that affects the chemical balance in the brain. Bipolar, autism, ADHD, asbergers, depression etc. ... are the result of this. This neurological injury is a side affect of the mercury and aluminium adjuvants in vaccines. There is a brilliant RUclips channel titled, *'The Truth About Vaccines'* where you get to see the first of a 7 episode documentary series for free (2 hours of ESSENTIAL knowledge). In this 2 hour episode, many general practitioners, pediatricians, researchers and scientists are interviewed.

You have to be very bad off to take your ..own life. She was depressed... We took her in and she was hospitalized for 2 weeks. She was with us 4 more years.

      Social Rejectz How so?
      Enduring the adversity is what makes you courageous. Youre looking at everything backwards.
      All suicide is is someone who is set on doing a certain action and then doing it. Thats all they need. Its not courage that gets them to do it, its almost a defiant stubbornness. ‘Im going to do this and nothing is going to stop me’. Nothing else matters or comes into it.
      To truly appreciate why living takes courage you have to consider two scenarios:
      One scenario is where somebody doesnt talk to anyone and they go ahead with suicide (no coming back)
      Vs
      Another scenario where that same person is thinking of doing it and perhaps even gets close to doing it but stops and goes and talks to somebody and tells them they are feeling suicidal.
      Without a doubt the second scenario is the braver choice. It is the choice for the strong

Everyone thought of him as the life of the party, the dude who'd do anything for a friend, who could always cheer you up. We were about 2 years out of uni, life gets busy and you stop seeing each other as often. He called me about a month before he did it to meet up, and life just got in the way, I didn't go see him. I know now he wanted to say goodbye. I envied him, he was older. He had the cool flat, all the latest stuff, the hot girlfriend. You can never tell how someone is doing from the outside.

      I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!
      “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest”
      ruclips.net/video/EXQGTInPpZU/видео.html
      Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I believe that the combination of those two things clouded her judgment. I was 5 years old when she died. It's been 51 years since her death, and it has affected me in many different ways. I have managed my grief, dealing with it with the help of a good therapist, but I struggle with being the adult that I am supposed to be. I feel like I am still a child, and maybe it's because of being so young when I lost her.

      This is so true and I feel like its such a stupid approach, like if someone has a plan and are suicidal/wanting to end their life they are not going to call a helpline because they know that they’ll try and stop them! Also if uve ever tried ringing the helplines its so formal and they ask you whats going on/if u want to speak to a counsellor and when ur in that state you cant answer that its too general and so hard to put into words!!!

    I was 14 when I took 20 sleeping pills in a desperate bid to end my life.
    Since then I've had multiple thoughts of suicide. I don't know what I have if anything.
    I feel empty a lot of the time. Happy rarely. But it was whatever. Felt like no one cared anyway.

      I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day.

    When i attempted suicide at 15 i explain the feeling as drowning in despair. Black thoughts were crashing down on me like waves, telling me I was worthless, no one loved me. I started to believe I would never feel happiness and it just wasn't in the cards for me. Everyone I would reach out to wasn't noticing or brushed me off and I started to feel like I was the biggest burden in the world. A final straw was my dad offering me money to disappear from their lives forever. I swallowed about 30 pills and drank half a bottle of whiskey. I passed out and vomited while unconscious, but one of my friends found me and got me to hospital. My mum didn't even visit me while there. We are close now and moved on but I have never gotten over the abandonment of that time and we never talk about it. I have 3 kids now I will always live for, that alone will keep me alive on this earth.

It was the worst few years of my life and although I still have those feelings, probably more than most people, I remember watching this documentary and it snapped me out of that determination.

Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

    My god this is absolutely beautiful and poignant. THANK YOU. I feel truly blessed that I’ve never been suicidal, but I’m a single mom raising an amazing young man and desperately want to be there in ways that maybe a dad might be, but unfortunately isn’t. So far (at 21) we’ve never endured deep emotional problems, but he isn’t the most forthcoming in that area. This is giving me an excellent topic of conversation to bring up!

      I can relate. I don’t remember my mother as well. She was missing for years. They found her remains on a grassy landfield in Huntington Township. It was the worst day of my life when I finally was told that it was her. That was in 2016. I’m still suffering the loss and all the unanswered questions. Wondering why I had to go through this. My father married a woman that I hated because we didn’t get along and I was the red headed step child. As a child, I would cry myself to sleep. I’m trying everyday to simply stay alive. And I don’t want no sympathy. Just a solution to get my mind out of this train wreck.

      My brother took his life at age 46. One and half years later I became suicidal with sever pain in my head like a sword stuck in my brain. I started talking by myself. My fingers started to curl like am disabled. I started shaking easily. My head wobbled uncontrollably. I felt like I was possessed by demon. Figuring out little things became extremely hard. Changing close taking shower was challenging. My attention disorder was of the roof. I distant myself from a lot of people. I started saying less. I was searching actively how to end my life successfully. But some part of me wanted to beat it. So i started say no to anything and everything that triggered my illness. I prayed every night, I started walking a lot. Changed my diet. Cut alchohol and weed consumption by 99% started doing things that I enjoyed only. Got lucky with a good friend that kept me company. Now 9 years later am still here with less symptoms. I still have issues but comparing it to 9yrs ago its day and night. God is Great!

    I was 11...almost...my dear sweet 18 yr old brother took his life with a shotgun right in front of me.. Didnt know where my parents were. I cried. hid, prayed, covered him with a sheet and watched him die and people wondered wtf was wrong with me in earlier days.....Im 54 now and I still cry, visit his grave, speak his name in vain, in love and in forgiveness. Is there really any forgiveness to be had other than the forgiveness of the ignorant who speak blasphemy of what they can never grasp. I don't know why but so much has played out over time. many have learned about suffering and thwarted death in dark times ourselves. Suicide is contagious. It really is. It almost speaks of permission to go ahead and follow thru but ya know...thats the darkness speaking if you are lucky.enough to climb out. That bullet almost went right through our father's heart. He pretty much drank himself to death from that day on.. Nanny Pat is right....He must have been suffering. I hope he found his peace .

    Every day suicide crosses my mind .i have journals filled with suicide notes that either my plan didn’t work or I just couldn’t do it at the time. I’ve came close to death many times and have had many spiritual experiences along with that but all that did was set me into a deeper depression cause I felt abandoned by high powers . I have been fighting this for thirty five yrs . My life is a struggle always and it’s me I do it to myself I wish I would listen to myself at the sametime tho and just shake the depression for good but it’s so hard to even get up to take a shower sometimes it’s a mission I feel so heavy and I have zero motivation .im on another antidepressant and mood stabilizer ..I’ve had some success with them but I always end up having adverse side effects so have to switch every few yrs . I have accepted depression will always be a part of my life and trying to work around that is almost impossible .i never knew what “one day at a time “ meant until recently and Everyday is so hard but I finish it even if I don’t get out of bed .

    • @GhostMonkey772
      @GhostMonkey772 3 года назад

      I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!
