Hebrews 10:24‭-‬25 WMB

Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

John 13:31‭-‬38 NLT

As soon as Judas left the room, Jesus said, “The time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory, and God will be glorified because of him. And since God receives glory because of the Son, he will give his own glory to the Son, and he will do so at once. Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for me, but you can’t come where I am going. So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?” And Jesus replied, “You can’t go with me now, but you will follow me later.” “But why can’t I come now, Lord?” he asked. “I’m ready to die for you.” Jesus answered, “Die for me? I tell you the truth, Peter—before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.

Romans 5:6‭-‬8 NLT

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Romans 12:9‭-‬13 NLT

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.

Share your burden

I want to share two videos with you today. They struck a nerve with me, so I want to share them with you.

First https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/media/message/depression1

I'll be honest, it feels odd sharing this, because I am agnostic. However, I have lived with depression for many years and I have no doubts about the kind of damage it can do to a person and relationships. I recommend watching this regardless of religion or lack thereof.

Second is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbtQp7C1MDs

This is lighter and funny, but it carries the same message to me. Share your burden.

If you are dealing with anxiety and depression; you are not alone. You shouldn't try to deal with it alone. There are people that care about you and will be there for you, if you just let them.
