Look Around

He carried it for you and I.  I don't know about you, but when I feel Discouraged I don't want it to last forever. I don't like to be down and out.  People sure do notice when we look burdened inside. Maybe it could be family or friends,or something we did; discouragement could come from a lot of things around our daily lives. Today many teenagers have a lot to face, from being accepted by friends or proving themselves to loved ones. This is a very difficult time in life for them, and there are many disappointments and discouragements along the way. Did you know that suicide is the fourth leading cause of death, between the ages of 10 and 14. Teen suicide is a very real issue today in America, and discouragement only leads to depression, feelings of hopelessness, trapped, and alone.  Many young people believe suicide is the only way out from the pressure of life. Look around young and old are driven by the spirit of depression, and it is only going to get worst. Jesus is the only Way out: Psalm 145:14 The Lord upholds all the who fall, and raises up all those who be bowed down. Look at what Jesus also says in Matt. 11:28-30 (v:28)  Come unto Me, all you who labor and are Heavy Laden, and I will give you rest. Maybe you or someone you know feels discouraged or depressed, but remember God. He has the ability and power to help us and to lead us out of it. He said "Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me." In Him we find rest for our souls. Open your heart today and let God in, and Pray for the youth around the world.
