![]() ![]() When you cry to him for help, he hears and delivers. ![]() You feel isolated, cut off, and like God has abandoned you.īut has not, and could never abandon you. Like no one cares, like no one is listening. ![]() When you are sunk into the valley of depression, it feels like you are totally and completely alone. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles ( Psalm 34:17). Your body may be a broken down temple, but that doesn’t diminish God’s love for you one bit. Though you may feel alone and unloved, there is absolutely NOTHING, including depression, that can stop God from loving you. The only way God will stop loving you is if he stops loving Jesus. Because you are in Christ, nothing can separate you from God’s love. You are not outside of God’s sovereign will and gracious love. You feel as though God has left you to wallow in the mire. Everything seems dark and bleak, as if there will never be another good thing in your life. When you’re haunted by the specter of depression, you feel very cut off from the love of God. Nothing Can Separate You From Godįor I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord ( Romans 8:38-39). Confess your utter weakness and frailty and let him be the burden bearer. Let him carry the heavy end of your burden. He is gentle and lowly in heart, and he doesn’t rebuke those who find themselves laboring under the overwhelming yoke of depression.Ĭome to Jesus in your depression and find rest for your soul. Jesus gives rest to those who are crushed by the weight of the world. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light ( Matthew 11:28-30). Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Come All Who Labor and Are Heavy LadenĬome to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. He has good things in store for you, and these Bible verses for depression are proof!Ĩ. He has promised to renew your strength even though you don’t feel it now. Wait for the Lord and he will give you life. He loves to sustain those who are fainting and give life to those who feel completely depleted. The good news is that God is in the business of giving strength to those who have none. Even the most mundane acts require a massive amount of effort. ![]() Everything seems overwhelming and impossible. …but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint ( Isaiah 40:31).įew things sap your strength like depression or feeling anxious. Even though you can’t feel his presence, God is nearer to you now than ever, and he is working on your behalf. He sees you in the midst of your affliction and moves toward you with deliverance. When you find yourself under a crushing burden, God draws near to you. God has a special place in his heart for the brokenhearted and crushed in spirit. The soundtrack of your life is in a minor key. When you are sunk into the depths of depression, you feel constantly brokenhearted and crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all ( Psalm 34:18-19). The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. God’s grace is sufficient for you, even in these deep, dark times. Take comfort from these Bible verses for depression, because God loves to sustain the weak. The reality is, you ARE weak, you’re just feeling it more acutely now. Even if you don’t have assurance of your salvation, you can be assured that God has a firm hold on you. When you are weak, he will strengthen you. When you fall, he will uphold you with his righteous right hand. Good news! You don’t have to hold on to God because he is holding to you. Like your weak and helpless, unable to do anything. In your depression, you feel like you can’t hang on to God. …fear not, for I am with you be not dismayed, for I am your God I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand ( Isaiah 41:10). You are his child, and like a dad clearing a path through the woods for his small child, so God is going ahead of you, clearing the way. Do not fear or be dismayed ( Deuteronomy 31:8).ĭon’t be dismayed because God is with you! Just as he swore to never desert the people of Israel, he will NEVER leave you or forsake you because you are in Christ. He will be with you he will not leave you or forsake you. ![]()

It is here, in particular in the surroundings of Bagni di Lucca, that in 1500 the Figurinai was born, artisans who once specialised in the production of stuccoes intended to embellish the noble palaces, which at a certain point began to reproduce sacred and profane statues with plaster. In Tuscany, in particular, plaster becomes the material that represents the historical tradition not only of sacred statues but also of nativity scene art. The sacred statues in plaster and other materials housed in the churches have for centuries helped the faithful to find a more intimate and personal dimension of conversation with God, Our Lady, the Saints, making the object of their adoration visible and tangible in some way. The Christian cult of images, while condemning idolatry, has always encouraged the use of religious images and statues as an aid to prayer and devotion. This product cannot help but convert itself over time to sacred art. Plaster statues of immortal artists, such as Antonio Canova, are kept here just to name one. In a short time, we pass from the production of plaster casts to actual statues made with this material, kept in special museums even today, gipsoteques (from ancient Greek gypsos, “plaster”), or calcoteques. The interest in antiquity leads to excavations and research, especially in Rome, and the fabulous finds that are made in the Eternal City contribute to feeding more and more the market of statuary copies, as well as the processing of plaster aimed at it. Ancient Greek and Roman statuary thus become an inexhaustible mine of models to which countless master craftsmen draw, who make plaster casts then used to create bronze replicas. Preparation of the castīut it is during the Renaissance that the desire of many collectors to own copies of ancient works of art pushes artists to deepen the work of plaster, to the point of transforming it into real art.

The addition of that little wisp of smoke and a short sherry finish has added layers of flavour that simply weren’t there before.įor my personal tastes, the spirit still lacks a little body and depth. When compared to their old 10-year-old Origins release, there’s more life and vibrancy here, both on the nose and the palate. This current range is an improvement in my opinion and the 12-year-old is a good example of the progress that has been made. Prior to the 2018 relaunch I found their whisky to be rather bland. Thoughts: I’ve made no secret of my lack of passion for older Jura bottlings. It’s not huge, but there’s a definite dried fruits note. With time in the glass, a little more of that sherry finish comes through. Subtle pepper and a hint of peat on the finish. ![]() Taste: Creamy vanilla followed by chocolate orange creams.

Speaking of the distillery’s core range, I’ve had a couple of samples in the cabinet for a few months now. ![]() It was an informative and enjoyable visit that reinforced my belief that Jura is making progress. We worked our way through some of the core range and even tasted some of the sherry that had been used to finish them. Which, it has to be said, looks absolutely fantastic. Sadly, tours aren’t possible yet but we were able to enjoy a few drams in their new tasting room. Our trip took in Lussa Gin and Deer Island Rum but in truth, it was the whisky distillery I was most looking forward to. This time, however, I was there in my role as Kinship host for the Islay Whisky Academyand the students were heading to Jura the day after I arrived. Somehow there always seemed to be enough to keep me occupied on Islay. I’ve been to Islay on five separate occasions now but not once in the first four trips did I attempt Jura. My relationship with Jura took another step back in October when I visited the distillery for the first time. It feels like Gregg Glass and his team of whisky makers are working hard to give Jura, an island full of character and personality, the product it deserves. Nevertheless, I find myself warming to the brand a little. Unfortunately, there still seems to be a reluctance to release higher strength versions, which is a shame because the few examples I’ve tried have come across rather well (see my review of the 21-year-old Tide here). I’ve spent the last couple of years getting acquainted with the new releases and while I haven’t become a member of the fan club or anything, I can definitely see the brand taking steps in the right direction. Back then, the whisky just seemed to lack a wee bit of personality.įast forward to 2018 and I was intrigued to hear that the brand was launching a complete new range with a new house style. Many people have speculated why that might be but I’ve never come across a conclusive answer. It just seemed to lack some of the magic I was finding in other single malts. Once I had become accustomed to a wider selection of whiskies, I found it difficult to go back to Jura. Origins, Superstition and Prophecy all had a place in my cabinet at various times but as the years went by, my tastes changed and I moved onto other brands. Back then, their 10-year-old Origins bottling was regularly discounted in supermarkets, making it an appealing prospect for someone just getting acquainted with whisky. My own personal history with the Jura single malt goes back about as long as I’ve been drinking whisky. ![]() |
