Heres a little thought before I head to work today...Yesterday I heard some very sad news. Today I want to share a word of hope for anyone out there that is struggling with depression or feeling alone. First know you are NOT alone. Ever. Second please remember the spirit of why we have Christmas and do not allow the pressure of expectation to overcome the true meaning within you. Third, when you feel alone and like giving up, I promise if for one second you will stop, look around and outside of yourself and actually look for someone or some place that needs your help, even opening the door for carrying someones groceries or offering a meal ....it will be enough to give your heart a lift. And do it over and over again. You are valuable. You are important. You are loved. You are not alone but among people walking the same struggles in life....everyday, the same joblessness, the same brokenness, the same loneliness, the same heartbrokenness. But we serve an amazing God who loves us and wants us to look to Him and rely on Him. he wants us to be selfless and giving with our love and kindness and in that, we WILL find peace and joy and reason to move forward. Look for signs in those around you...at work...on the street...wherever your day to day life takes you and make a point to say hello and wish them genuinely a Merry Christmas as you look them in the eye. You never know whether that one gesture could save a life and lift one out if despair. Reach out of yourself even in your own mess and be amazed what God has waiting for you this Christmas.
