DEPRESSED? DON'T BE

Do you know it is possible to land yourself in this arena. It is possible to enter into a space where negative energy dominates you and you feel nothing can come out of life again. You may enter a space where you have given up on life and anything good in it. You may be in such condition where no words of encouragement makes sense any more. Young man, you may be locking yourself away from people and dragging yourself to further loneliness. If all that you want is to be far from people, locked in door and roll on bed with tears, please watch it. You are growing in depression already and its a dangerous path. Why will all those occurrences lead you to deep darkness? Don't you remember there is a God bigger than your current status? I saw someone yesterday who went through hell and yet stood strong. He got into deep depression and was about to take his life. The thought of his ineptness as a result of his circumstances dominated him. He wanted to give up. He struggled to get a degree with farming and working as laborer. He graduate with good grade yet no job. He went in for masters and got the degree sleeping in classes cos there was no money for accommodation. Hanged out in friend's place sometimes to bath and change clothes weekly. He got the masters yet no job. He struggled in all phases and started using his skill acquired as an electrical engineer, yet no maximum breakthrough. The friends are doing fine. The hope of his family is pinned on him and his life seems shapeless. No one was there to help. He had no connection at all. He went into serious depression. His life changed. He became lean and life was going out of him. He thought he should end it when he remembered he had fought so far. When he remembered it was not him who could got that far with his fights. It was God who carried him. He went to God and sought his forgiveness for thinking he could take his life. He beamed with new hope. He arose from the dead. He arose from the pit of depression. Alas, something sweet was close for him. He was very close to his breakthrough even though he could not see it. If he had taken his life, that would have been it. Young man, what are you going through at work, home, career, health and all, that has the capacity to drag you into the pit of depression? Don't give in to depression. When you think of what you ought to be in life and see yourself far from it, you may be depressed. Don't be. God has a great plan for you and am sure you will do well if you are patient with his plans. When all you want in time of trouble is to stay away from friends and families, please watch it. You need them more at that time. Be deliberate in closing up with a meaningful relation at that point. When life seem meaningless and all the thoughts is to end it, think about the one who owns it. Think about the one who brought you this far. I know its tough to admit at such moments, but in reality he is building you to be the best. Judas Iscariot got depressed cos of his mistake and took his life.  Hannah was depressed but she knew the right place to pour all her burden. She went to the house of the lord. There is no death there. There is life and peace. There is joy beyond description. There is provision for all manners of needs. God heard her and brought her through the moments. Young man, don't allow yourself to be depressed because of issues of life, God has empowered you for something great. Just wait for it. It may tarry, it will come to pass.
