During the course of my 38 years on this planet, I have met various people from all walks of life. The one common thread all seem to share--whether rich or poor--is that we all face hardships, disappointments, and emotional upsets. This proves that neither money nor worldly success brings real, lasting happiness.
What do you do when things are not going your way? Do you run to your doctor in hopes of solving your problem with the pop of a pill? Will you spend hundreds of dollars on a therapist who routinely practices New Age techniques such as healing from crystals, past life regression therapy, and the like? Will you mope around the house for months in a depressed state hoping some glimmer of light will pass your way? Who do YOU turn to when you are in pain?
In the Bible, we are told our Lord is the great physician and healer. While it is true our heavenly Father is able to restore physical bodies, He is also a healer and mender of spirits. Indeed, He is the ultimate Comforter in a hurting world.
Everything has it's time and place. Before you turn to man for emotional healing, reach out to God frst.
"Seek ye first the klingdom of God and His righteousness; and ALL these things will be added unto you" Matthew 6:33
