Depression is a horrible emotion to experience, and this morning's experience proves it takes very little to trigger that emotion. Beyond the experience of the emotion is the disruption of life because everything seems to come to a halt, and some things even reverse in progress because of the depression. Let me tell you right now, taking pills will not do much to change your mood, and if the fine print speedily read off at muted tones in ads are correct, some of these mood prescriptions may even cause suicide to be a more prevalent thought than the depressing ones. Personally, I take no chemical mood manipulators. The moment I feel sick, angry, sad, annoyed, jealous, depressed -whatever! If it does not serve me, it has to go! I tell myself it has to go and it has no space in this place. If that sounds silly to you, let me tell you - that formula has served me well, and I use it often. I always shift from the negative to the positive and I do it as quickly as I can. I encourage you to do the same. Flour by itself is not tasty. Butter by itself is not something we sit down to eat. Sugar by itself is not filling, however, you start mixing these and other ingredients together, and the result is often amazing! So it is with life. That depression right now is simply an ingredient in your life. If you are a Christian, remember this Biblical promise... Romans 8:28 "Furthermore, we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called in accordance with his purpose". --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebibleonbusiness/support
