Reach Out

We need reach out to people, and not let their differences keep us from reaching out. When we hesitate, we allow them to fall farther in their despair. You never know what might happen in the next couple of hours, days, and weeks, but take an interest in a person and get to know them. Don't be shallow and do it because it makes you feel good. Do it because you genuinely care. I cannot remember any times that I have been one of those people to cut someone out or just completely ignore someone. I have never had any friends that were on the verge of doing something drastic like suicide, but it is something that has become prevalent in our society. You see someone that is an outcast, go talk to them and listen to them. I have seen despair and it does not go away easily, but when you reach out to someone and pray with them; you can help them to get on the road to recovery. Jesus is the one that makes all things equal. He has seen despair, before He went to the cross; He was burdened with a load of cares and sins, and asked that God might take it away from Him. He carried our sins to the cross so that we might be saved. When have done all that was humanly possible; then reach out and grab the hand of God and He will save you. I know that things like depression are real, and it clouds the mind like a big black cloud and it rages within you. Once you know Jesus as your personal Savior; you are never alone.

I waited for you today
But you didn't show
No no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?
[Chorus:]
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone

And though I cannot see You
And I can't explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life

We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
[Chorus]

We cannot separate
You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
