A good friend once told me that apparently the number of Christians (she said this is actually from a study) suffer from depression is lower than most others. And I can see why. Even when we're depressed, we read words like these,
"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
"Fear not, I will help thee."
"Take heart. I have overcome the world."
It is indeed reassuring to know that the Lord of this universe is interested in us and loved us enough to send His Son to die for us. After going through all that trouble, I think He wouldn't just leave us to find our own way home.
But it is still tough battling depressive thoughts so I need to hold on.
Please hang on with me.
