Sadness & Depression

God (God the Father, God the Son Jesus the Messiah & God the Holy Spirit) inspired me to write this piece with my personal experiences with sadness and depression, so that those who are struggling with feelings of sadness or depression can know what the root of their problem is, also what the solution is to the problem. Medication and therapy do not address the root of the problem, they only suppress the problem, which is essentially a ticking time bomb if we do not address the root of the problem. With that being said, let's take a closer look at the root of the problem that causes sadness and depression.

Sadness and depression are results of ignorance, the daily necessary tasks that we do and the things that we do for your own pleasure. Such as housekeeping, jobs, studying, playing music, sports, relationships, pets, mourning for loved ones, alcohol, smoking, sex, pornography, masturbating, drugs, television, video games, social media such as Youtube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Twitter (X), etc. Some things are good at first glance, others are downright bad. We have become experts in finding excuses to keep doing them anyway.
We all need healing, we all need Jesus, He is the only one that can bring healing.
 
The root of the problem is who you do your daily things for!
The root problem of sadness and depression is doing the daily things for yourself or someone other than God. God loves it when you do your daily things for Him instead of doing them for yourself, all the things that we do must glorify God, such as housekeeping, jobs, studying, playing music, sports, relationships, etc. This insight also gives you the solution to be free from the bondage of sadness and depression. The truth is when you don't have God in your life, you have a void within you, we try to fill this void, knowingly or unknowingly with the daily things we do. The void is your spirit crying and longing for God, if you fill the void with the wrong things or for the wrong reasons you have invited sadness and depression into your life. Trying to fill the void with the wrong things is also the reason why we have become experts in finding excuses to keep doing the wrong things. What exactly do I mean by this, let me clarify this.

God is the creator of the universe, the stars, the sun, the moon, the heavens, the earth and everything in it, including humans. God has given us a body, soul and a human spirit, human beings have a sinful nature, and our souls are tainted with sin that leads to sadness and depression. The spirit is the element in humanity that gives us the ability to have an intimate relationship with God, who Himself is spirit. The soul, as with the spirit, is the center of many spiritual and emotional experiences. When you understand that the soul has a sinful nature then you also know that your sadness and depression comes from living on a soul level instead of on a spiritual level with God, in other words not having God in your life is the root problem of your sadness and depression.

Doing God's will is the only permanent remedy for sadness and depression. If you do not yet believe in God, you can use the power of your free will to start believing. Believing is a choice without necessarily having proof or evidence. When you believe and what you believed for becomes reality, God also becomes reality to you. Everyone has the free will to start believing in God, this is the most important choice you will make in your life. Jesus can heal any sickness and any disease if you allow Him to heal you.
