These days, we give so much credence to sociology, and scientific means to deal with our social and psychological issues, but none of them really work – or at least get to the root of man’s problem – namely our own sin and the sin of other men and most importantly our lack of trust in God and fear of man.
In my opinion, the greatest cause of depression, all kinds of physical illnesses and in some cases madness in people’s lives is caused simply by un-forgiveness. Yep, un-forgiveness! Granted some diseases are out of our control (none are out of God’s) but there is no doubt that when you don’t forgive your friends, family and people that hurt you (easier said than done of course) it makes you physically ill – period! The spiritual manifests itself in all kinds of physical ways. So forgiving people is not just a moral matter, but a health matter as well.
Anyway, I came across this video this morning and had to post it as I know lots of Christians (as I did and still do) suffer from issues of self doubt, insecurity and all the things people usually deal with in this life. But for several years I have repeated the Bible’s advice to myself; ‘don’t fear man’ – ‘what can man do to you’ (nothing longterm, and in any case only the body and not your soul or eternal salvation) and it has worked miracles in my life to stop me from worrying about issues that in reality don’t matter – and focus on serving and living more fully in God’s peace. Take a look at the video and see if it helps you.
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related. Quick note – my articles are usually spun off in minutes so forgive any errors – hopefully you get the essence of the article and I’ll pick up mistakes later.
