He does love you, I promise. That's why he sent his Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for your sins and my sins and everyone else's in this world.
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish but have everlasting life."
Jesus Christ gives everlasting peace and joy. Not like the world will give you, which are only temporal. Cutting yourself may relieve you from what you are hurting from, but it will never give you permanent satisfaction. And it will never give you permanent joy and peace. Only Jesus Christ can give you that. Trust me I know 100% that he can. I used to be depressed a lot all the time but when I finally realized that Jesus was ALL I needed to be happy and nothing else, I stopped being depressed and Jesus gave me a permanent peace and joy in my heart! And I love The Lord with all my heart! He is so AWESOME!!!
I just want you to know that I'm praying for you and I care for you. One of my goals in life is to tell as many teens about God as I can. I'm a teen too and I really care about other teens who don't know God. And many times I find myself crying because they're so many teens in this world who are hurting and don't know God. Trust me, if you don't know God, you are MISSING out!!
And remember:
You'll never understand God if you don't know God. You'll never know God if you don't believe in God...it's your choice.
...And really what's there to lose if you do decide to believe in God?
