In this episode we are going to take a short detour from The Fruits of the Spirit as God has really placed something different on my heart this week. We will finish the series on FOS next week.This week we are going to talk about a horrible tool of the devil, that being suicide and suicidal thoughts and thoughts that we are worthless.This is something that I have struggled with for my entire life and something that is an ongoing battle, but one that I have learned to stop giving gains to the enemy within.We take a look at the promises that God gives us regarding eternity and His love and we also take a look at the fact that we are NEVER UNLOVED.
