EP#12: Your Soul will Thank You!

This week has been a fulfilling one.

Joy surely comes from inside directed outside.

I had a chance to volunteer half-day to teach young teenagers a thing or two about the Bible.

When I received the call to assist as a teacher in the VBS(Vocational Bible School), I got jitters.

I just hoped that my schedule would allow and God was faithful in this.

The week started with a few hiccups but that was expected.

I taught children aged between 13 and 15 years.

Children in this age are not yet adults but their brains fire at speeds most parents neglect to observe.

They also go through heartbreaks like us!

This sparked my interest in finding out whether they face depression.

To my surprise they did!

We had to decipher whether their struggles were real or their brains were making problems.

We started by listing all basic needs and I required all of my students(45 in number) to explain whether all those needs were satisfied.

They all responded affirmatively.

So what was the cause of their so-called "depression"?

We went down the rabbit hole and found out that their souls were yearning for more.

More means that after all physical needs are satisfied, they need spiritual and emotional nourishment.

Some wanted love, others wanted to know more about the world and others wanted freedom to experience life on their own.

Let's turn this back to us.

What are you venturing into currently that ensures you are nourished spiritually and emotionally?

How focused are you on ensuring your soul is fulfilled?

That's my challenge for you today.

Focus on spiritual and emotional nourishment today and see how good you'll feel afterward.

Your soul will thank you!

Have a blessed weekend.
