Eclipse of the Soul

Depression is blind because you don't see any hope. It's blocked by the eclipse of the soul. This eclipse also blocks out all Sunlight to the heart and it grows cold. 

Because the heart is cold it suffers from pain. Death and life cross paths and we experience a loss of a loved one. This also brings on more pain in the form of loneliness. 

No one is immune from death. Life is a gift from God. We are granted a few years. Life is like a vapor of water, it is here a short time and fades away.

In the beginning, death did not exist. Over 7,000 years ago life on earth was perfect. Male and female He created. All life on earth was under their dominion. The animals were under the care of these two people. 

Life was a perfect paradise. But that didn't last long. We had unlimited freedom with only one rule. They could eat the fruit of any trees but one. it was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Because we ate of this tree death entered the world.
See: (Genesis 3)

It's Better to Give than Receive

Acts 20:35 NKJV I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” Hi, my name is David and I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ. I have never been wealthy by the world's standards, but I have never went without food and clothing. As a matter of fact, I have been given more than I ever can return.  The Gifts I have Gotten When I was younger, my uncle bought my clothes because my dad was not around. Everything you think about is a gift from God. Over the last two years I have been given a car, two part time jobs, and money donated for car repairs and food.   My Friend Remi Over the years I use to work and I had a friend on SSI. He only made $720 a month to live on. He by my standards was dirt poor. I felt sorry for him. By the time he paid rent and bought groceries he has nothing left. He had a boring life. Eating out was a luxury, and he lo

Jesus and the fall

Love has a name, and his name is Jesus Christ. The only begotten Son who was born to become the only sinless man who ever lived. He was obedient to the Father until death. Our iniquity was laid upon Him on the cross. He who knew no sin became sin for us. He died so that you and I may live.  None of us are righteous. We fall short of meeting God's standards. We all are law breakers. When Adam and Eve tasted and ate what God told them not to, their eyes were open. They knew that they did something wrong. They realized that they were naked and they felt ashamed. Because God is just, he had to keep his word. He told Adam and Eve if you eat the forbidden fruit, you will die. Because of one man's disobedience sin entered the world. Because Jesus lived the life we could not, he could offer himself as the perfect sacrifice.  For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
