That's not true either...God didn't save you just so you coild,go to heaven.
He saved you for a purpose here on Earth...otherwise He would have already taken you out of this world.
If God meant for you to be dead, you would be dead.
However since you are alive He has a reason for your earthly life, you just have to learn what it is.
If you kill yourself, you are saying that you know better than God.

Alright, I'll consider it. This is also what I wrote in my prayer journal. Jesus' words are in red.
Rachel, your sadness and downcast spirit are not lost to me. I know how hard and borderline impossible faith can seem sometimes. But I also see that you care. You care enough to come to your journal and speak to me. Even when you don't actually weep, I hear your soul when it does. You want so much to have lasting happiness, as do I. My daughter, there truly aren't any words to describe how deeply I love you. And even if there were, they would not be empty. I promised you I would not leave you to wither and die. I care more than you can imagine, and it breaks my heart to hear you say I don't, not for myself, but for you.
Then why did you make me this way? So you could be "glorified" more?
Please don't hate the way I made you. I saw what you would be and I'm very pleased. You may not believe me, but I'm crying with you right now. You may not think you have a right to grieve, but I'm allowing you to. I know you don't want to hope in or believe anything anymore, because you feel constantly disappointed. You're fearful, angry, and lonely. And you feel as though there's no way out. I know I've said this before, but it won't always be this way, my beautiful, precious daughter. If you could see me, I would be stroking your hair and embracing you. I'm never letting you go, even when you want to let go of me.

After carefully reading and studying the Bible, I've become convinced that God only cares about this life in that we work for him. There may be relationship and whatnot, but what really matters is that we work for him. Everything else is irrelevant, including what we may want and desire. And even then, the next life is not about our joy, our only reward is him, so who's to say we'll be joyful at all?
God is interested in EVERY facet of an individual's life, not only the saved but unsaved as well! Matt 5v45, Acts 14v15-17 (and so forth)
I know my parents love me, and they say they accept me, but I often feel like a disappointment to them. I barely graduated from high school and I failed the same college class twice.
Touch is part of my love language. I know God can't do that, but I've heard about Him doing that for other people. And even when I speak to him, I can never prove it.

Sometimes you have to give love to receive it....
If you want more hugs, go out and give them.
Volunteer at the church nursery, kids love giving hugs.
Or there might be another ministry God calls you to.
Maybe visit the elderly at the nursing home?
Don't assume you know,what your parents think and God is never disappointed in who you are because He made you and can mold and shape you.
