From A Collection of Joy by Helen Steiner Ricer
Patience
Most of the battles of life are won
By looking beyond the clouds to the sun
And having the patience to wait for the day
When the sun comes out and the clouds float away.
The darkness of depression is dispelled by the light of the Son, Jesus Christ. Having the patience to wait for His healing touch can be a lesson learned for those who battle the darkness of depression. To paraphrase Rice, we must look beyond the clouds of darkness, "to the Son." He has promised to never leave nor forsake His own. The clouds of depression may obscure His presence for a moment. We must trust in Him, knowing, not feeling, that the day will come when the "Son will come out and the clouds float away."
To God be the Glory! Amen.
