Dear Cutters,

This must stop. This self-destruction. This letting Satan lie to you. Don't forget God's promises! He loves you SO MUCH. Just the way you are. He loves you even though you're cutting--but he doesn't love the cutting! His heart breaks over you. Girls, guys, all who struggle with this addiction--hang on tight to God's promises. Take up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Battle Satan with the Word, like Jesus did. Hang on tight to God's promises! Here they are:

His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
who by his understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.
who spread out the earth upon the waters,
His love endures forever. Psalm 136:1-6
