Life is Worth Living

What do you do with despair? What do you do when the weight of depression threatens to crush your soul? What do you do when deceit and disconnection leave you desvastatingly lonely?

Is life still worth living?

I believe that, yes, it is. For me, I'm never truly alone though it may feel that way sometimes. Afraid to come out of the little box I keep myself tucked away in. Afraid of what people will think. Unable to explain myself so they'll understand me, the real me. That they'll reject me.

Is life still worth living?

Yes, dear friends. It most certainly is. And it's the greatest decision we can make. We can always choose to leave anger and hate behind us. To believe in reason and love. To see beauty in everything and everyone, even those we don't understand. Virtue is powerful and more important than ever.

I haven't heard the song Hold Fast by MercyMe in a good number of years, but the chorus struck me hard as I despaired. It's going to be okay.

And life is worth living.

"You may think you're all alone
And there's no way that anyone could know
What you're going through
But if you only hear one thing
Just understand that we are all the same
Searching for the truth
The truth of what we're soon to face
Unless someone comes to take our place
Is there anyone?
All we want is to be free
Free from our captivity, Lord
Here He comes

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He's come to save the day
What I've learned in my life
One thing stronger than my strife
Is Your grasp
So hold fast"
