Suicidal, and transformed through Christ

John 10:10, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly."


This article tells of the transforming power of Christ in a young girl's life:

In this story, this girl (we'll call her Sarah for this story) had been feeling in her spirit that she needed to visit her friend one night, and that something was terribly wrong. So she drove to her house and knocked on the door ten times. Sarah knew something was terribly wrong.

Sarah got to the house and drove the girl to a nearby hospital. Sarah's friend  had attempted suicide. She took about 10 pills of a harmful drug, hoping to kill herself. Christ looks at us in our darkest hour and gives us hope in any seemingly hopeless situation.

On the way to the hospital, in the car, Sarah led her friend  to a saving knowledge of Christ. The girl's life was radically transformed. Sarah's friend came to a realization of the amazing love of God. She realized the purpose she had in Christ, far exceeded her own feelings of worthlessness. Sarah simply asked this girl if she would like to place her faith in Christ. She told her all she needed to do was to ask God for forgiveness of her sins and believe on Christ and what he did for her on the cross, to save her. Sarah's friend knew what she had to do and believed in Christ for her salvation.How amazing that Christ met this girl in the darkest hour of her life! In the seemingly hopeless situation this girl was in, Christ looked down at her and gave her hope.  In Romans 10:13 says, "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." The grace of God changed this girl's life and she was transformed because she chose to believe in Christ and placed her faith in Him.

At the hospital, the doctors told Sarah that her friend would  have surely died if Sarah would not intervened and driven her to the hospital.



Sarah's friend was in a hopeless situation, and Christ intervened and changed her life. Maybe you are in a hopeless situation. In  Romans 5:5, Paul tells us how the hope of Christ "does not put us to shame."

What hopeless situation are you in? Do you feel as if you have no purpose in life? Christ will meet you at your greatest need and transform your life. Only believe in Him.

I also was in a hopeless situation 8 years ago when I was in the hospital in a 40 day coma and paralyzed on my left side. My family believed for my healing and God truly healed me. I have had to daily believe God for my healing since then and God has continually healed me.

What healing do you need to believe God for?
