As Jesus’ disciples, we can stand up to seasonal depression in several ways. The inclination is to take practical steps rather than turn towards Christ primarily. That is stinking thinking. Our Lord should be the very foundation that guides us in both thought and action. Jesus is the ultimate solution.
Forgiveness is an ever-elusive Christian virtue. Especially among Christian circles. I’m confident you know that gregarious, bubbly happy Christian who jumps at the chance to forgive people thus trying to upend my syllogism. I am not that person.
When we look at Jesus, we lose the fear that keeps us from seeing that we need to help. Those who seek help, first see the need. Confession between you and the Father is where all of this begins. When we look to the Holy Spirit, we sense wholeness started. With the Father, our faith broadcasts future hope when God makes all things new.
