“And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday.” (Isaiah) We have learned here a simple rule, “Expression is the opposite of depression.” In times past whenever I would be feeling sick and/or depressed it would be easy to think even more about my troubles or want to discuss them with others – looking for support and sympathy. It took a practitioner in this church to teach me this kind of action (or self-centered inaction!) was only sinking me deeper into a mesmeric hole. I was also looking to people rather than to God for my answers and for my comfort and not blessing them at all! I needed to forget self and to think of how I might bless others and not in some do-goody way but in a Divinely directed way, knowing I could reflect His intelligence and His Love. This, of course, was an entirely new way of looking at things and took some struggles on my part to become obedient and to follow Christ’s path. The results however were and are tremendous. Thank God, a practitioner loved enough to show me the better way and to bring me out of that self-inflicted darkness into the everlasting Light of noonday!
