Why is depression rampant in America, a country known for freedom and prosperity? Perhaps the answer is in this quotation . . .
“Many people look out into a meaningless world in which there is no afterlife, where all their projects are doomed to extinction, where all relationships end in death, where sudden death may strike at any moment, and faithfulness is a rare quality. The person who does not feel depressed under such circumstances is not very bright. Depression is normal and natural in a meaningless world. For such depression there is only one cure, finding a center of powerful, meaningful love at the center of the universe.” –Morton T. Kelsey
The cure for depression? Jesus’ love and Presence!

There Is a reason for depression that few even mention. It is a lack of focus – on the truth. Jesus teaches that it the “truth that sets a person free”. Unfortunately, we stop to examine all of the less obvious reasons and never get to the heart of the matter. And we – who dare to call ourselves Christians are more at fault in this regard than others. Most have never examined the truth, but as we have learned by it, life becomes – as Peter expressed it, “..joy inexpressible and full of glory.”
Thanks, sherwood!
Whose quote????
The quotation is from Morton T. Kelsey.
I had never heard of this man although I have discovered he was well known in Christian circles. I did not discover the quote you offer – in part, nor other. Would you mind finishing it for me. Thanks.
