Your Choice

When you are feeling down and discouraged, what do you do?

Do you get angry and strike out against those you love most or do you become passive and watch the world go by without making any effort to change it or share the gospel? 

Do you fall away from your First Love or neglect your spouse?

These are questions that only you know the answer to. What you do when you are depressed is a choice. I know what it feels like. I've gone through it too. 

I want to encourage you, please, don't sit and watch on the sidelines. You need to get revived again. 

When I am discouraged, I don't want to read the Bible or pray, but I know I need to. I hold out for a while and sit in melancholy silence, moping. But God gives me the strength after a while to make the effort and stop standing around and doing nothing. So, I read the Bible or pray which seems like torture at first and then it works on me and I slowly become normal again. It is truly God's work.

So, next time you are discouraged and depressed, call on God. He will help you. You have to make the effort though. It's your choice.
