What do you do when you are unworthy to live?
From time to time, I like to go into my sitemeter and see what brings people to my little corner of the blogosphere. This morning, I found this phrase in a google search string: what do you do when you are unworthy to live?
The search took the seeker to my post Something to live for; something to die for. From the data the sitemeter collected, it looks like they didn't stick around long or read much. I do hope they come back. If I could talk to them, I would ask them why they think they don't deserve to live. I would try to understand what despair they are in. If necessary, I would help them get help.
I am not a counselor. I don't have professional credentials and I can't pretend to offer professional advice. But I can say "Don't give up hope! Whatever you have done, however you have failed, no matter what harm you have caused, there is One who loves you with an undying love.
His name is Jesus, and He has been seeking you since before you were born. He knows your name, your heart, your mind, and He loves you just as you are. He identified so completely with you that He took your unworth on himself and died in your place. But it didn't end there. He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. He's there right now, cheering you on, calling you home, and offering hope! There is always hope, because He is alive today.
If you want to know more about Him, post a comment on this blog.
I'll be praying for you.

Hi!
Amen to what you writes here!
Q: How do you find out what people are searching for when they comes to your blog?

Havard:
Thank you for your comment.
To answer your question, I'm using the free site-meter tool (http://www.sitemeter.com/default.asp) that allows me to see the last 100 hits on the site. It shows basic information for most hits: the referring URL; the time, date and length of the visit; number of pages visited; where they were located (sometimes only a time zone, other times a country); and the search string if they came to the site via a search engine search. It is a matter of curiosity and some vanity for me, I guess, but it's helpful to know what brings people to the site.
At the bottom of my right-hand column is a site meter icon. I just click on that and see my stats.
