As I travel across the United States it surprises me about the number of Christians who are so sad and so depressed! Some folks look like they’ve eaten a whole jar of soured pickles, for there is no joy in their lives!
I can understand getting down in the dumps every once in a while, but living in the dumps is out of the question for me! Folks, we serve a risen Saviour and and he lives within us today. If you can’t find great joy and happiness in that fact then something is dreadfully wrong!
I have the answer for depression and sadness! Get busy and go to work for the Lord. Love your brothers and sisters in Christ, pray for people, and tell them about Jesus. When God starts using you to change the hearts and lives of others you’ll have unbelievable joy!
It’s time, no, it’s past time for Christians everywhere to stand up and proclaim the joy of their salvation!
Psalm 32:11 says, “Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!”
