Depressed

 

                                                     Depressed

Psalm 34

“The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him and delivers them.

There is no want for those who fear Him.

Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it.

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, and none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.”

Depression brings negative thinking. Always look on the bright side and trust in the Lord that He knows what is best for you and is always with you in all your situations.

Depravity

                                                         Depravity

John 3:19-21

The word depravity means moral corruption or wickedness.

"Condemnation is because men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest their deeds be exposed."

If we walk in the truth, we walk in the light and our deeds are clearly seen, not only by others, but especially by God.

There is no depravity or condemnation in serving God.

Defeated

 

Defeated

Romans 8:31-39

“If God is for us, who can be against us? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword? Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us?”

Nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

No matter how others treat us or talk about us behind our back, if we are God’s child, He will protect us and stand up for us.

He will never leave us, nor will we have to fight our battles alone. Our God fights our battles for us. Sometimes, we must be still and know that God is working on our behalf.

We are not defeated when we trust and believe in Jesus Christ.

Death

 

Death

John 11:25,26

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes I me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.”

Jesus died on the cross so that we might live. He craves a relationship with us and if we have that relationship, even though our bodies will return to dust, our souls will go on and live with Jesus Christ in heaven.

Without a relationship with Jesus both our body and soul will die, and we will not have a home in heaven but an eternity in hell.

“No man comes to the Father, except through His Son Jesus Christ.” John 14:6. He is the way, the truth and life.

Crime

 

Crime

Matthew 15:17-20

“Those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adultery, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man.”

Have you ever been told to “watch your tongue” or “think before you speak.”

Oftentimes when we speak we tell on ourselves. Of what our character is. Our negative words speak of a complainer or a depressed person. Our cussing speaks of a person who doesn’t think before he/she speaks. Some might consider that person an illiterate individual. Talking bad of others is considered a gossiper.

According to the scripture above, our words come from the heart and defile a man.

We need to guard or heart with thoughts that are “true, just, pure, lovely, of good report, if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8. From this comes goodness and no crime will come from it.
