It’s crazy to think how long it can take us to come to the
realization, that Jesus is the answer. Not only is Jesus the answer and
solution to eternal damnation, He is simply the answer to everything.
Last night,
at hospital ministry, I only had time to pray for three patients, as I spent
quite some time with each individual. The first patient required physical
healing, the second required some serious deliverance from an evil spirit, and
the third required emotional healing, as she was struggling with depression.
Jesus was the answer to all these individual’s needs. The patient struggling
with depression asked me why I was so happy, and why I thought Jesus was so
amazing. I simply shared with her why Jesus is so amazing, by telling her who
He is, what He has done, and who He says that she is. Depression could possibly
be seen as the attack of a series of lies, blinding an individual from the
truth. The truth is that your Creator loves you with a love that cannot, and
will not stop pursuing you. The truth is that because of what Jesus has done on
the cross, you have been set free and you have inherited eternal life, by
simply acknowledging Him and believing in Jesus. Because of the love of Jesus,
you are a son/daughter of the Most High God, and that God is well pleased with
you, just as you are. One answer. One God. One love.
You can choose to believe lies, and subject yourself to the
effect of those lies, or you can choose to believe in the truth and allow the
freedom that truth brings, to set you free! It is for freedom that we have been
set free! Simple, yet powerful! Every single person on this earth was made in
the image of Jesus Christ, we should therefore not be surprised to find out the
He is the missing piece in our lives. There is NOTHING that can satisfy you in
this life. Nothing that can make you feel content or fulfilled. On a short-term
basis, yes, there can be some satisfaction found, but there comes a point in
every man/woman’s life when their soul cries out for more. My prayer is that
those individuals would not turn to a counterfeit, which would bring a false
hope and leave them broken, but that they would turn to the Lover of their
soul, and find peace in Him alone.
If you have not received Jesus as your everything, with my
everything, I would encourage you to do so. He desires to enter into your heart
and start a relationship with you. We love Him because He loved us first. Even
while we were still sinners, He died for us. Jesus died on the cross that we
may know what love is. He is love.
