To continue where I had left off yesterday...
I went on to tell the man who’d written to me, that even at this very moment Jesus is knocking on the door of his heart, and is gently calling out to him to open the door of his heart so that Jesus can come in.
I then went on to say how Christ is his only hope, as the things of this world will never bring lasting satisfaction, at least not the kind of satisfaction that can satisfy a thirsty soul.
As for his issues with anxiety and depression, I wrote that such things are being experienced by multitudes of people, but speaking from my own experience, Christ is the one who brings comfort to my heart. And because of my relationship with Him, I can face the future knowing my life is safely in His hands.
I added that at times I still find myself having to deal with feelings of sadness, depression, and anxiety. While at the same time, I no longer allow these negative emotions to rule my life. Rather, I rebuke them in the name of Jesus. Today, I told him, my peace of mind, and my hope, comes solely from having Jesus as my Lord.
