Where did I put Jesus?

Do not be downcast.  Do not look for solutions.  Look to Me.

If you have Me in sight you can’t, won’t be downcast.

This feeling overcomes us sometimes because we feel that all is lost.

But, if you have Me, all is not lost.  So, therefore, when you feel all is lost, you do not have Me.

What a great measuring stick.  You can’t say I believe in God if you are downcast.  The both just do not, cannot go together.

What great reassurance for our soul that when we feel downcast it is an indicator that you have stepped away from Me. 

So if you feel despondent ask yourself “Where did I put Jesus?”  Because you certainly have put Him not at the center of  your life.

Did I leave Him in the car, behind a chair, in church?

If you are despondent then you have misplaced Jesus.  Did you intentionally remove Him from the center of your life or did something happen ever so gently that pushed Him from center stage?

Did you take your eyes off Him and focus your gaze on something that has drawn you into despondency?

Remember, if you keep your eyes on Me you will not be despondent.  It is the TRUTH.  When you fail to Believe in Me fully, Trust in Me fully then despondency has easy access to your emotions.

Focus on Me – your Saviour and all else will fall into place and make sense.

There is no sense in despondency.
