Depression and Paxil

 Greetings to you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,

     Jeremiah 3z;21 says, A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. 

     I have spent a lot of time around friends who were believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.  I have served the Lord In a lot of churches in my past and would often then go home to a comfortable place and play around with photography and develop a relationship with a new fiend now and  hen.  For the most part, my mission field was near  to me but not as much as it is now.    I was interested in the messages about God’s Word from famous preachers before I was saved.  I enjoy the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation.  I know the end of the story.  Now, I am living in the midst of it and people are not hearing the message of God’s Word. When death comes, it is too late to make a decision for Christ.  Your chance is gone and now you will face judgment and the fact that you tried to be good and was a member of a garden club will not, I repeat, will not, get you into heaven.  So, most of the people hee ignore the message and so I weep.  I weep because I know that they are on that broad road tha simply leads to hell.  Even as I write this, tears come to my eyes.  I t has been determined by my nurses and doctors that I am depressed.  If I am depressed, so was Jeremiah and so was Isaiah.  Maybe they needed to hae a quick dose of Paxil to help them in their sad state of affairs.  When you cry out, “Here the Word of the LORD and people just walk away, too busy to hear it, you weep.  At least, you should weep.  My primary care nurse called me yesterday to advise me to go on Paxil.  “It  will help make you feel good and happy.”  she said.  I wouldn’t mind being happy but I don’t want to become a vegetable with a smile on it not caring for all those who are hurting and burning up their lives with stimulants to keep them going.

Everyone of us is but a heartbeat from eternity and there is not changing directions after you are dead.  Many feel that all roads lead to heaven.  They don’t.  Read the Bible.  Many feel one faith is as good as another.  It isn’t.  Read the Bible.   For many of the residents in my current living spot, it is too already too late.  Their mind seems to be gone.  They are still living but so far from being able to understand even a child’s  message on salvation.  My deepest prayer is for the staff, t hat God would spare them one by one on their trips hope, tired, exhausted from serving us in sometimes a twelve hour shift.  Yes I weep and a pill is not what is need.  Salvation of even one or two or 30 or all of them to be brought  into the arms of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Oh, I will take the Paxil but I bet it won’t stop my concern, my burden, for those who are on the precipice of eternity.  Thank God and Praise Him for His call for all of us but someday there will be that final call.
