You have to make the decision as to whether you live or die. It is not all up to God. A great amount of it is up to you. Do you remember when Paul was discussing his internal conflict concerning his desire to depart this life and be with the Lord, and his desire to stay here and continue his work? He said, "Yet, what shall I choose." (Phil.1:22) If you don't choose, Satan will be glad to make the decision for you.
 
Probably every one of us has had some type of experience with a loved one or friend who has lost the will to live. When a person loses the will to live they have made the decision to leave.
 
There are many troubles that can make a human being want to give up. The pain of a divorce can be so bad that you want to die. The loss of your job and income can be emotionally, not to mention, financially, devastating. The loss of a loved one can be unbearable. A problem with a child can cut right to the heart.
 
Resurrection is life AFTER! There is life after divorce. There is life after the loss of the job. There is life after a loved one has departed. There is life after all trouble and pain. That's why you must live and make the decision to live!
 
Something dear and someone precious may have left your life, but that doesn't mean that you have to die. It's up to you! Have the faith to believe that there is life, wonderful life, AFTER. Declare as the Psalmist did, "I shall live and not die!!!" Choose life! (Deut.30:19)
