"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God." ~~~ Psalm 43:5

In the world we can easily get downcast and fall into despair. This empty feeling comes when we do try to replace God's love with something else in our lives. We are surely the ones who seek true peace and rest in our lives and wish to feel the deeper joys of true eternal love.

Therefore, we must know, above all things that just like the sun to the sunflower, we are always being drawn to the true light - our loving God. If a sunflower faces away from the sun then it becomes weary and dark - it begins to die. In the same way if we turn and try to go without God then we become weary and burdened in heart.

There is no sun without sunflower, and likewise there is no son without the father. It is an unbreakable relationship, and one that if we try to live without will leave emptiness, anxiety and pain.

Praise God - let yourself be set free. If a sunflower faces the sun, truly this is when it shines brightest. Let us praise our Father God with all of our hearts - He is our saviour and our true eternal joy. In Him let us place all of our hopes.
