What a cure for depression! “Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” This joy has it’s foundation in the peace of God. Peace with the Good Shepherd who Himself said, “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:11
When a person can accept that the Good Shepherd loved us, me and you personally, so much that he gave His life and poured out His blood to buy us back from Satan and sin, it should move us to trust Him.
We as human beings are extremely precious in His sight. How can we know that? How can we be sure about this? This really makes all the difference in the world. Here is how we know. The Good Shepherd said, ” Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for His friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” John 15:13, 14
The love of the Good Shepherd is available to all people, but we must receive that love. How do we do that? One way is to receive His promises. How do we receive His promises? By believing them! If you have accepted and believed that He loves you, you can then receive and believe what He says.
This is how you enter into the reality of “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” He then can cause you to lay down in green pastures, and lead you beside the still waters.
