The worst thing is to lose your reason for living. He suffered from mental illness and spent a significant portion of his adult life in mental institutions of his day. At age 32, he was nominated to a position that required a public examination. He grew fearful of that and tried to commit suicide three times--and nearly succeeded. He was taken to a mental asylum where he stayed for eighteen months. While he was there however, he was converted while reading the book of Romans. He was later released into the care of a minister by the name of Urwin.

While there, he became friends with a pastor by the name of John Newton. Newton encouraged the young man to serve the poor and write, which he did. However the young man eventually relapsed, in which he again attempted suicide. He appeared to live a life of despair yet he became at the forefront of the English poets and was a great hymn writer.

In Luke seven, we find that Jesus had come upon a woman that must have been in despair. No doubt she felt hopeless, yet she discovered that with Jesus, it is never too late.

A midlife crisis can be devastating to family life. A person in midlife crisis can become angry, depressed and resentful to those closest to them — feeling that no matter how hard they work, their family require more than they can earn.

Zacchaeus was almost certainly from a religious home. His parents called him Zacchaeus: He must have realised he had a need. Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus without Jesus seeing him v. Many people feel that because of their sin and imperfections, God will turn away from them. But God loves imperfect people and, instead of turning away from you, he turns towards you.

Zacchaeus did not realise that you cannot hide from God. Jesus knew him and he even knew his name. Zacchaeus did not realise that Jesus loved him and wanted to know him v. Whatever you have done in your life and whatever your imperfection, Jesus loves you and wants to be in a relationship with you.
