If a person finds him/herself feeling gloomy, it's often because his/her thoughts have become focused on the negatives, instead of the positives in life.
But if we put our hope in God and all His goodness, and think of all the blessings He has given us, our spirits will begin to soar and our sadness to disperse. We'll be able to once again praise His beautiful name and rejoice in Him because simply knowing God surpasses all our broken dreams, painful experiences, and indescribable griefs.
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him,
my Saviour and my God."
Psalm 42:5
Just knowing God as personal Lord and Saviour — we have it all! We can turn our sadness into joy by looking at what we have in Jesus, and not what we don't have in the world. The glass, or our lives, might look empty, but the truth is our lives are full when we have Jesus in our hearts.
