Afterthought

A few weeks ago i was feeling really down and depressed. I have a nice house, a wonderful boyfriend, a good paying job (for here), a great roomate, good food, and I was listening to one of my favorite CD´s. I read exciting books, watch entertaining T.V programs and movies, I live in a nice neighborhood and don´t have too many complaints about the church Beto and I attend. I have a comfy bed and enough clothes. But even though some of these things had made me happy in the past, nothing could cheer me up. I was being attacked, I could feel it, but at the time I didn´t care to try to get rid of my sadness. I thought, nothing of this world, not even really close friends, can always fulfill me the way Jesus can. it was like one of those ¨duh¨lighbulbs. And not even reading the Bible cheered me up. Not to say it´s not God´s Word and not powerful, but our joy doesn´t only come from the Bible, it comes from Jesus, from His Holy Spirit Himself. Only He can totally and completely fulfill us how we need.
