• Because we do not understand all the circumstances surrounding someone's suicide, the level of the person's accountability, and the penalty that the Lord, in his infinite love and wisdom, may see fit to inflict upon the person, we must avoid judgment. Regardless of those circumstances and the Lord's divinely imposed punishment, followers of Christ are to be loving and compassionate to those who are hurt by the act of suicide.

• We must remember that much spiritual growth does not occur suddenly but rather through time and experience. The encouraging message of the gospel is that God does not often require us to perform sensational or extraordinary deeds but rather to try to do better today than we did yesterday. He is mindful of our desires, our determination, and our direction as well as of our deeds.

• Cualquier cosa mundana que codiciemos -esforzándonos celosamente por obtenerla y luego retenerla- nunca parece poner fin a nuestros deseos. La codicia, la envidia, los celos y la avaricia siempre escalan en una espiral viciosa, a medida que buscamos una gratificación cada vez mayor, pero encontramos cada vez menos satisfacción. . . . Esforzarse por adquirir las cosas del mundo no sólo no trae felicidad y paz duraderas, sino que nos impulsa a buscar más. Cuando "todo lo que siempre hemos querido" se basa en las trampas temporales de este mundo, ¡nunca es suficiente!
