BEST MEDICINE
By Leslie Cole
Do you have something bothering you? Do you
have a problem? You are not alone in the world.
Someone out there is having the same problem as
youare.
When you have a problem who do you turn to for
help? Have your ever noticed that when someone is
down all of their "friends'' come around trying to
tell them what they ought to do. Or else they say
"If 1 were you I would . . . ." Of course If you think
about it they never follow their own advice.
When you have something bothering you you
might go to a friend and hope they will understand
what is really the problem. Or you might not tell
anyone and just keep it buried inside of you until
one day you can not stand it any longer and you
think the world has come to an end. So you try or
else you succeed in taking your own life.
Before you go to someone why not try talking to
the Lord' He can heal all problems If only you let
Him. Have faith in Him For all you know He
might send you to tal k to someone who has had or is
having the same problem as you are. Leave the
problem and your life up to the Lord for Ho will
lead the wa
If ever you feel so down that you are thinking
about killing yourself why not firl talk to the
Lord. Don't rivo up without trving to reach out to
someone for help.
Remember no matter how low you get there is
someone who loves you and that person is the Lord.
Don't forget a problem can not destroy you if you
' have the power and the Lord behind you. So lift
yourself up to the Lord first when bomething is
bothering you. For that is the best medicine for
curing a problem.
