Why?

I had waited on George several times.
He worked for a gravel pit and he was a very nice guy.
He never got really worked up, and he had a pleasant personality.
And last week he killed himself.
Of all the people I would have thought might do something like this, George would have been the last on the list.
What was it? Did he have an addiction, a terminal illness? Did he live without hope?
I've had the "why" thought about a lot of things lately.
Kids bringing guns to school, parents killing their own kids, normal looking people who do horrible things to others.
Why?
Has the longing in people souls become such an abyss? Are we as a society coming to a point where we will do anything to satisfy a thirst for something?
The answer is that people sometimes buy false goods. Satan hates God and everything He has created. That means he hates us.
To destroy us he has to tell us that there is no hope, that only extreme measures will bring an end to that hopeless feeling. Killing and harming others or ourselves will put us in control of the situation.
It's a win-win for Satan, he destroys lives and hurts God.
There is always hope. If we have Christ that hope becomes eternal.
How many more "Georges" are out there? How many have lost hope? How many will destroy their lives trying to find life?
We have the answer to the hurt.
Will we share it?
