Count Your Way to Joy
Depression is the result of looking at what we don't have and can't do. Joy is the result of being thankful for every little thing we have and counting ourselves blessed just to be alive and to know Jesus as our Lord.
Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name.
--- Hebrews 13:15
My own reflection on this Thought:
* Have you ever been in a depression? Or in a very stressful situation?
Usually at that time, our thoughts dominate everything. So that we can't even think of the goodness of our God.
In such situation, it's good to sit back for a while. See the simple things that God has already given to us. Give thanks to every little of it, then you'll find new strength to face the stressful situation with a new hope in God...
Not easy, but worth to try! (-fon-)
