Today I share my “secret” for what prevents me from ever slipping back into depression ever again! My secret is found in a promise Jesus made:
“However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.” (John 6:37 NLT <– Please click the link for context!)
Are you coming to Jesus?
If you are then it must be said that the very act of you coming to Jesus signifies that the Father is giving you as a gift to Jesus!
Would the Father give a junk gift?
Doesn’t that make you feel special?
It should!
You are gift!
Jesus then guarantees that if you come to him he will not reject you! Did you just hear that? He can’t reject you! What a promise!
This promise from Jesus has singlehandedly rescued my soul from slipping into despair countless times. I trust it will do the same for you.
Once you get a promise like this rooted firmly in your heart, then so many other Scriptures and promises will come to life for you as well. Search them out. The Gospel of John is a good place to Start reading… and believing!
Once you come to Jesus, you obviously now have Jesus in your life and Jesus and depression mix about as well as oil and water. His joy becomes your strength and displaces depression! Get to know him!
The Lord used the following song to speak to me very powerfully today. I trust it will for you as well:
COME TO JESUS!
Lyrics:
Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!Now your burden’s lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!And like a newborn baby
Don’t be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall…so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can’t contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!And with your final heartbeat
You kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory’s side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
