God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Every Christian who struggles with depression struggles to keep their hope clear. There is nothing wrong with the object of their hope – Jesus Christ is not defective in any way whatsoever. But the view from the struggling Christian's heart of their objective hope could be obscured by disease and pain, the pressures of life, and by Satanic fiery darts shot against them… All discouragement and depression is related to the obscuring of our hope, and we need to get those clouds out of the way and fight like crazy to see clearly how precious Christ is.
For almost twenty years and I still feel the old clinging dirt of wanting to deal with God that I may contribute something, so that He will have to give me His grace in exchange for my holiness. And still I cannot get into my head that I should surrender myself completely to sheer grace.
I might have posted this before, but one of my favorite brain-dead foods
(outside of spaghetti), is to take one box of Near-East Curry Rice and cook
according to directions, without the added fat. While that is cooking,
microwave 1 frozen block of spinach (for some reason fresh spinach doesn't
taste as good to me in this recipe -- and takes longer unless already
de-stemmed and washed). When that is done, drain and set aside. Nuke 1 can
of black beans, drained and rinsed, and 1 can of diced tomatoes (minus some
of the juice), mixed together (generally for about 3 minutes).
When rice is done, mix spinach, rice, beans and tomatoes (generally in a
large bowl). Snarf. Not only does it taste good, but it's really
colorful with the yellow rice, black beans, red tomatoes and green spinach.
Very satisfying. Even my almost-3-yr-old loves it.
Approximate total time: 25-30 minutes (time to cook rice)
