Feeling Anxious and Depressed

So you are feeling anxious and depressed. Not much to live for? Can't think of anything that brings joy into your life?

Think about this. Write it down or print it out and carry it with you. Meditate on it for a few days or a few months if you have to.

John 3:16 (What does it mean?)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

1. For God so loved (write your name here) - Get this into your head. For God so loved (write your name here)... For God so loved (write your name here)... Say it, think about it, shout it.

2. that He gave - He gave. He didn't take, He didn't squash, He didn't destroy, He gave. Let go of those lies you have been taught about Him. He doesn't steal, kill or destroy. He gives.

3. his one and only Son - This one speaks for itself. Would you give your only child for anyone?

4. that whoever believes in him - Whoever believes. Not whoever is perfect, whoever performs the best, whoever looks the best, whoever earns the most or even gives the most. Whoever believes.

5. shall not perish but have eternal life. - Eternal life versus eternal sadness, eternal confusion, eternal depression. Eternal life begins in this life. Choose to believe and choose eternal life.
