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.
