really, it’s ok

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

- Romans 5:6 (NKJV)

 

When someone asks “hello, how are you?”, the natural response is “fine” or “good” or “ok”.

But what if you are not fine, good, or ok?

Many of us struggle with depression, whether it is short term or long term, it is there.

It is OK to not be OK.
Josh Wilson released his song “OK” in 2018:

Shame says you've gone too far this time

Shame says you've finally crossed the line

Shame says you have to hide away

But shame is shattered by amazing grace

So come just as you are

Bring your broken heart

Your secrets and your scars

You were never meant to carry all this weight

Let your walls come down

And let the tears fall out

And know that Jesus loves you just the same

It's ok not to be ok

It's ok not to be ok

This, this is where the healing starts

This is where the light can crush the dark

Here, inside your pain, inside your doubts

Here is where He's gonna meet you now

Several other artists have released music that gives a similar message – it is OK if you aren’t OK – the recurring message is that you aren’t alone.

Whenever you feel unloved, unimportant, or insecure, remember to whom you belong.

You are loved more than you will ever know by someone who died to know you.
