Depression

I LOVE CHURCH!

If you’re in the Word, you’ll be in church.—R.L Conyers

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25

I am amazed at the number of Christians skipping church for one reason or another. I understand if someone has health issues or maybe even have to work. But just to skip the time God has given so you can catch up on your favorite TV show, catch a few winks, or surf the net shows a lack of respect for what God holds in high regard.

Child of God, I’m tired, wore out, beat down, depressed to a degree, but you know what I’m going to do this morning? I’m going to GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH! Why? Because Jesus gave Himself for you and I to be able to get together and get the help we need—in church! So why don't you?

I’M ALL ALONE… ARE YOU SURE?

When you have accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace; God is awake. -Hugo

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5

I’ve been like the prophet Elijah when he said, “I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.” When life’s joys are stolen from us by the thief of the night we find ourselves battling depression. We feel alone, helpless, and hopeless.

            But Child of God be prepared for those times. They come to each one of us. They come when we don’t trust the Lord in times of trials and temptation. They come when we aren’t familiar with His promises. Promises such as, He will never leave us nor forsake us, He makes a way of escape during temptations, and trials increase our faith as we “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”

            No matter what you are going through Child of God—you’re not alone! The Saviour is with you no matter where you are! Call out to Him! Trust Him! Lean on Him! Rest in Him!
