DEPRESSION

Sometimes life can just be so depressing, especially when things do not go our way. I read once of a person who just had three words as the cure for depression "rise above it". Rise above it, rise above it, rise above it! What comforting words in times of sadness and sorrow, to rise above it and fight to face the next day. Jesus is so great, He gives us the kind of peace that we can only get from knowing Him. The peace that passes all understanding.
It is only up to us to reach out to Him and seek the comfort that He can provide. He is so gracious.
There is no tomorrow without hope. There is no future without hope. But where can hope come from? I believe it comes from trusting our Saviour, I mean, putting all our trust in Him, not leaving some behind, just like how the toothpaste tube always has 'just a little' left which can not be squeezed out, except with huge determination!
So this is my message for today. There is no shadow of turning with Him who loves us unconditionally. Through loving Him, trusting Him unconditionally, placing all our burdens on Him, we can handle the burdens of life, the depressions of life, all the minor worries and sadnesses! Oh, everything! In fact, He is not called Omnipotent and Omnipresent for nothing!
May these words bless and encourage you.
