Why are you feeling downcast within you?

Why are you lonely, and the thoughts of suicide never leave you alone?

You are depressed, and Lonely, why?

And you asked why will I not? Do you have an idea of what it is like going through all these?

Ok…, I want to understand.

You just lost your job? And it should not be you, a company you have invested your time and energy on but due to the pandemic the company could not afford to pay salaries as this will not sustain the business, so they decided to layoff and you are affected.

You think this is unfair, and considering the years you have contributed to the growth of the organization. You have been loyal to their vision and goals.

How do I cope? Family expenses? House rent? Debit services and you thought of committing suicide?

You are Loved!

All those thoughts are from the enemy of your soul. You are not those thoughts.

The One that created you says you are more than the present feelings.

Do not reject yourself over a temporary situation and allow the throne of your life to be overtaken by depression while His love beckons.

You have a choice to accept his love and, enthrone Him as your lord or re-enthrone Him again as the case might be.

Allow Him to rearrange the things that are way beyond your control. The enemy keeps telling you to fix it. It is Jesus’ responsibility to fix it.

I can assure you of unexplainable peace with Jesus. I am a living witness of peace that even me I can not understand.

I know you just lost a loved one as a result of the pandemic or some other sort of ailment, and that person meant everything to you…and thinking of how do you start again…it is all over

You have looked all over and asked for help in strange places. Nothing seems to be showing up for good.

You have tried all you could even prayers and feel dejected.

The person that made you sent me to you.

You are too Precious to Jesus for him to give up on you.

You are loved. It is a lie that you are alone.

Several emails of rejection flowing into your inbox are making you think you should call it to quit.

I can hear you say to yourself, I am alone in all these. Where will I turn?

You were not created to be alone. No Never.

I can assure you that the voice of rejection, the feeling of depression, and thoughts of suicide are not a voice of love and definitely can not be from Jesus. Yes, I mean the One that made you.

If Jesus wants you to be alone, He will not say:

“And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age”. Matthew Chapter 28:20{NIV}

Yes! He is with you. He has always been with you.

It is the voice of the enemy within your soul that is not making you hear the whisper of His love for you.

He has always been there with you.

I know you have ignored him because you do not believe all these Jesus stuff…but is real, and that is why you are reading His word now.

He is with you now and does not have any intention of leaving you. No matter how long you have ignored Him.

“Look! I have been standing at the door, and I am constantly knocking. If anyone hears me calling him and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with him and he with me.” Revelation Chapter 3:20. {NIV}

Embrace His invitation today,

Allow Him in…. Decide concerning Jesus. You have ignored Him enough… Allow Him in.

He loves you.

He gave himself up for you… Nobody can do that for you

Yes. Nobody but He did.

Embrace His Love, Embrace His peace that surpasses all human understanding.

You are Loved!
