In an ever increasing uncensored society, you never know what’s hiding behind a sad face. As frustration builds, pain lingers and troubles remain unsolved, sadness may go underground. Subsequently, wounded hurts may turn toward apathy, becoming comfortably numb, dying a slow death inside.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22
If this sadness is ever unleashed, don’t be surprised by what comes out of the mouths of the broken. Some may opt to express their feelings in other venues like Facebook or Twitter. Emotional outbursts may simply be a ploy, crying out for help, hoping that someone will give them the attention that they need.
Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. – 1 Peter 5:7
A sad face will remain in its current condition until an act of kindness, bright smile or word of encouragement snaps them out of this spell. Induced by depression, souls feel trapped until a Good Samaritan comes to the rescue. The next you you witness a sad face, don’t look the other way. Rather, extend a loving hand to those in need, Romans 12:15.
