Hi there,
So just to give you something, that will help you relate to Christ: Jesus was the One with the greatest will to live, compared to any Man. It was through this will to live, that He learned to heal and deliver. There was mastery in this, in the end, for He lived so effectively for God, that His place in Heaven could not be denied. If the Lord then, welcomes you to Heaven, who are you to refuse it? Jesus said there would be those who would not come, but He died on the Cross to make the way for them, even if they did not want to address their sins to begin with - now that's a will to live!
What we must do, is thank the Lord, for imparting to us, that will to live. If we have that will to live, everything else will make sense. That will to live, will drive the Devil out; that will to live, will crush sin; that will to live, will draw us ever closer to Heaven. Can you see how strong that is? To God be the Glory! Thus we see God in Him, though He is crucified - thus we feel empowered to grow fruit in Him, though we are mere disciples. The Lord will have the strongest will to live of anyone, to the end of time. Let us draw that spirit within us, let us ask Him to extend it through us - our failings don't need to hinder us, we are set free in Him.
As Man progresses, he will learn that will to live; it will be a will to have peace. The Children will learn that will to live, it will be a will to power. These things should encourage us, bring us healing and truth. Be empowered! Ask the Lord, "how is your will to live, alive in me? What gift is it?". If He can have the will to live and you can have the will to relate to Him, both your gifts will be made the stronger! So let's hear it! Let's have the will to live together with the Lord!
I hope this has been of some encouragement.
God bless.
