ARE YOU GRIMALDI?

"You largely constructed your depression. It wasn't given to you. Therefore, you can deconstruct it." - Albert Ellis

When we fall ill, we’re quick to employ the services of medical personnel. And we take our vehicles when they malfunction to the mechanic. Everything seems to have a ‘fixer.’ But what happens when that ‘fixer’ himself needs to be fixed?

In 1835 a man visited a doctor in Florence, Italy. He was filled with anxiety and exhausted from lack of sleep. He couldn't eat, and he avoided his friends. The doctor examined him and found that he was in prime physical condition. Concluding that his patient needed to have a good time, the physician told him about a circus in town and its star performer, a clown named Grimaldi. Night after night he had the people rolling in the aisles. "You must go and see him," the doctor advised. "Grimaldi is the world's funniest clown. He'll make you laugh and cure your sadness." "No," replied the despairing man, "he can't help me, you see, I am Grimaldi!"

Have you suddenly become Grimaldi? Has the load of care over your life become so huge that it seems you’re alone? It’s the second month in the New Year, but you seem to be
unsure what life has in store for you, and God seems to have suddenly gone on vacation: it appears He’s turned His back on you, and you’re depressed. It might appear like He has, but be assured He’s nearer than you think. Still look up to Him…He has all the answers.

Let us pray: Father, I know you can still hear me please come to my aid, in Jesus name.
