Have you ever felt more dead than alive? I hope not. Although there were times when I was overcome with incredible problems that seemed to hit me all at once. During these struggles it was difficult to feel alive at all. Sayings like: “I feel buried and overwhelmed,” “This problem is burying me.” I think we have all felt like this.
How can we feel more alive? The answer is in the word of God. “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” (Psalm 118:17). We maximize our living and life when we live in Christ, and stay true to His word. We gain freedom from our struggles when we accept the truth that the Father will liberate us when we trust Him and put our faith in Him.
Our lives are a living testament to how Jesus performed miracles to many of us who He has healed from depression, anxiety, diseases, viruses, and so on. We are obligated to tell our story to others to bolster up their faith.
If you are like me you might feel intimidated to speak freely to others, sharing your story and the gospel of Jesus. My hope and prayer is that the Holy Spirit continues to work in me and in you to share our story and the gospel. Love and blessings, Carbie.
