Whats going on. this isnt okay.

[Calabazaa]

I recently posted a prayer requset for a guy I had worked with... We were told he had commited suicide...
Now to make long story short...
There was suspesion of a fake suicide... because certain things to difficult to explaine wernt adding up..
Today I was working I was sitting on the floor.. my co-worked came to me just in plain shock..and said he is here..
He was at our work I went over .. and I watched and I said Hi.. I talked to him and shortly after called my boss to confirme what we just seen.
It was terrifying. because before the "suicide" .. he was going to be banned from the store due to inaproprate behaviour.
I Prayed for him, and got others to pray for him .. My prayers were answered ! THANK GOD HE IS NOT DEAD... he is alive and well...
But Whats going on with this hoax.. Who is to blame.. we are all so confused and lost.. I was soo mortifed .. I thought I was to blame for pushing him over to commit such a act.
How do I go about handling this.. and waiting for a answer. And once I find about the answer.. how do I go about forgiving all the hurt that was cause, and how do I help my friend cope... I had to be strong for
her today when he came in.. I had to stand and talk to him nicely and like nothing happend ..even though inside I was ready to pass out.
Please give me some adivce. And Pray for me to ue this to better myself and to be kinder.

Its a world filled with sinful people. Deception is rampant, many making a game of it. If I were you, I would simply forgive, and understand thier nature, to be less affected by thier actions and deceptions in the future.

He Waits 24/7 For us to but ASK ! But it is All by Faith ! \

excellent!!

see how wonderful the Lord is
He taught you something so powerful and so real and wow what a fantastic and amazing God you serve in Jesus Christ

now you have an even more powerful lesson and it is yours to learn

amazing!

rather than teach you about how to and how not to and leave it there with a dead man which would bug you for the rest of your life, you have a live man and all the stuff you thought so deeply about can now be put into practice with the VERY person you felt so much regret about
if it was me I'd tel him all about it and even about Talk Jesus and all of it, confessing how it made you feel and in the process you will be able to help him see how he was doing things that you had trouble dealing with

but yeah, I'd tell him how you felt so bad and as a Christian what that did for you and all

amazing and beautiful

all things work together for good, says the Scriptures read it here: Romans 8:28

yeah, now you can tell that person all about Jesus! Excellent!

The Love of God in Jesus Christ
He is not willing that any should perish - 2Peter 3:9

and
Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Matthew 18:14

wow!
joy!

Good advice Eddy......I was thinking along the same lines.

God has given you another opportunity when you were sure you had lost the chance to win him for Christ.

God has given you another opportunity when you were sure you had lost the chance to win him for Christ.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose
Romans 8:28

Amen....To God be the glory

What a perfect opportunity in this unperfect sin filled world

Hallelujah praise the Lord

Calabazaa I am praying with you, for you and for this man

Bless you


God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.


Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sovereign will.


His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower*


* William Cowper

Calabazaa, you're not to blame for anything your co-worker did or didn't do. And I agree with the others, that this is a great outcome, that he was thought to be dead but isn't! Praise God for that! Just let Him lead you where He wants you to go with this ordeal. He put you in it for His good and mysterious reason, and everything He does is good and works out to His satisfaction. God bless you for the way you handled the situation - being strong for your friend and nice and calm towards your "fake suicide" co-worker, despite feeling inside like you were going to pass out! You displayed a great example of one of the fruits of the spirit - self control !

Sister Calabazaa. It is so important to learn two lesson here to me sis.1. Words we use do indeed matter to others.and 2. God LOVES YOU!! As for the person in question,God also LOVES HIM TO! Sometimes people are in such need of attention, that they will say, or do almost anything to get it! It sometimes can be as bad as a drug for some! To cause others to think something they had no intention of doing, just to get your attention?That is sorry to me!! For the person doing it, thinks nothing about others then only himself! We have known many such people,we do not judge them, but rather do our best to comfort there pain they may be in in both mind and body.

But we also must remember something else to sis! YOU!! Must stay comforted no matter what he does do! For I can lead you only to a place you wish to go sis! Sometimes people look to lead others into fear,and condemnation! We will not follow such people sis. You can always stay at peace when your words only bring to others, what we so much need ourself sis.Words that bring life, and never death.If that person decides to commit the act anyway,at least no blood is on your hands!You told him in love what Jesus himself in you told you to say. And the Lord will be well pleased with you!

And that is what counts sis! For no man or woman can do your own believing for you! YOU must do it! Jesus has done everything already to prepare a place for us!( john 14:1-3.verse 27-29!!) verse 29 when it happenes you MAY BELIEVE! For those of us who do believe sis, we arrive in perfect peace,even when others are far from it around us. It takes abiding in God's Word daily to become established in all of his promises!The result from what Jesus has already done is eternal life,our part is to rest upon what Jesus has done and only believe!( mark 5:35-36) may this bring you great comfort sis! It sure has me!!

hi again @Calabazaa and others

something happened the other night before you posted the post on your workmate suiciding or at least before I read it
I knew of someone who had bean dealt a fair blow and it hit me that they might take their life as it would be very hard to live with themselves etc after the blow happened
that disturbed me greatly and then I read your report on what had happened to your work mate and how you felt etc
http://www.talkjesus.com/prayer-request/44800-dont-kow-how-cope.html

I then read your post
I prayed a lot about the person I knew and next day saw an elder and suggested the person needs looking after and watching, and told the elder my experience as I just explained above
that afternoon, I learned that a man I loved and respected and was well known for his work in mission etc had topped himself after something allegedly happened.
both these people, the one I was worried about and the one I loved were into their sixties, not young
so I pushed even harder in prayer, if you follow where I am now after all the above

now we read that your work mate is not dead
as I said before about this, excellent!!

can you see that your post might have helped a man so many miles away by prompting me to prayer and works through an elder.

His Love is amazing and if nothing else get yourself and if possible your work mate too soaked in the wonder of His love
amazing love and wisdom and what more can we do than get excited that He loves us!
