Down Does Not Mean Out

Good Morning!! So many people suffer from depression. For some individuals, this blanket of darkness comes as a feeling of sadness or lowness while others explain it as a sense of looming disaster or doom,...and that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. A person who feels suicidal does so because they feel there's no escape from their problems. Such a person feels that their burden, whether real or imagined, will not subside, but will continue to worsen, and eventually swallow them up with even greater emotional pain and anguish.

Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God— soon I'll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s my God.—Psalm 42:5 (The Message)

The truth of the matter is, nothing is greater than God, and no problem is too large that our heavenly Father cannot turn it around. Darkness always gives way to light, but in order to see this we must have hope. If, while you are reading this, you are suffering with depressing emotions, know that tears do not go on forever, for in time they eventually dry up just as every storm gives way to the sunlight. The compassionate hand of the Lord is reaching out toward you; God is ready to soothe your fears and ease your pain.

The cure for depression is hope.

Hope is the ability to believe in change. Where God is concerned, hope is ever-present because our Creator is able to do all things.

The Lord offers His perfect abilities to those individuals who dare to take a leap of faith towards Him. 

"Being true to God, starts with being true to self."
