I have been hesitant to post this because of those who would critisize it as 'hearsay' since I was not present for the second part of this, but I feel it is important to record for future reference for those who know the truth of the situation.
On Sunday, April 11, Kevin, a man in our church, stood up during a quiet moment in our church service and shared that all during the week he felt God impressing upon him that there were 3 people in our congregation contemplating suicide. He shared that God made it clear to him that one of them already had a bottle of pills they were planning to use. He went on to speak words of encouragement to those people, and then we prayed for them.
The next Sunday, April 18, our pastor let us know that during the prayer time after service, a person came forward and admitted that they were the one with the pills.
To me, this is a reminder that God will never quit trying to get through to us. He loves us deeply and gives us signs and wonders all the time to try to get our attention. Do we recognize them? Are we listening and looking for them? Do we know God well enough to recognize his voice - to tell it apart from all the other voices we hear, our own - others - the enemy's?
