Depression has a hard time keeping a distance from me. An irony exists, being filled with a spirit that longs for something it does not have. I'm confident that the world is not something that we were sent to fix. It seems the existence of man has done nothing but destroy the world on an exponential scale. Is there any reasoning to believe a change in pattern?
Perhaps we should be more in tune with exactly what God is yearning for our ears to hear through his Word. This world is temporal. That means it will end. In fact, Jesus also tells us a lot of the people in this world will also come to an end, a death both physically and spiritually, hell. We should recognize that our efforts to improve this world are a mere reflection of what is to come. Our motivation is to reflect the character of the Living God, who someday will come and restore completely and perfectly.
So don't only go half way. Don't just go out to change and fix the world. Let your motives be known, so others can have a relationship with the living God. For the world we live in will never compare to the one to come.
