A daily thought ~ depression

“Depression is when the capacity to cherish at all has dried up, and there is a deep, dark numbness of soul.

So, the battle in depression is not primarily to persuade the soul that Christ is more precious than, say, money or family; the battle is to persuade the soul that Christ is worth waiting for in the darkness, and that his beauty will dawn again, not just on the mind as a truth, but on the soul as a treasure.” – John Piper, Desiring God, Episode 1506.

No matter how dark the times seem right now, because of what Christ has done and God’s love for us, we can look forward to when we will rejoice in God once again. Piper has explained this so beautifully in this article, we go through hard times but we can look forward with expectation for what God will do and how we will again rejoice in Him.
