Depression Healing: A Story with a Happy Ending

The very fact that I exist today is proof that there is depression healing. I didn't receive my healing from medication.  I received my healing through a faith in God, that I didn't even know I had.  He initiated a never ending conversation  with me that brought healing and happiness into my life.  I supplied the sickness.  He supplied faith, wisdom and spiritual health. 

Dear God, it still gives me chills to think about that day!

Excerpt from The Life Cycle:

A Message from God:

That's enough. Get up.  Come on, get up.  Why are you crying?

Get up. That's enough. Don't you know there are people out there who love you? What about your brothers? They love you, dearly. What about your father? He loves you, too. No, I'm not talking about your earthly father. He will not always be there for you. Where will you be when he dies? I'm talking about your heavenly Father. He has something better for you. Now get up, wipe your tears. (The Life Cycle is a story of depression healing. Preview it here. Use the back button in your browser to return to this page.)

You've punished yourself enough...

I am going to give you very few details about my life and the things that happened to me, because, again, I do not want to focus on that. I will tell you, though, that while I never attempted suicide, I thought about it day and night. Life was that bad. There were times that I would not go to bed at night, because I knew I would have to get up again. There were times that I would sleep all day, every day, to avoid living my life.

I missed months of my life counting those cars. I missed years of my life, because I simply refused to live them any more.

I went through all the motions, but enjoyed nothing.

Not one single thing brought joy to my life. I looked around me, but did not see. I heard people speaking to me, but did not hear. My closest friends said my eyes were the eyes of a dead person. Doctors took one look at me and diagnosed me with depression.

What happened? I made mistakes, and lived the consequences. I lived in guilt. I was mistreated. I refused to change my circumstances, because I felt like I deserved them. I thought God was punishing me!

Then, one day, while I was lying on the bathroom floor crying, longing for death, God actually said the words to me that I shared with you above, and I responded. The journey He has taken me on, that began that day, has been remarkable. Now, after about fours years of study, prayer, life changing events and eventually healing, I am ready to share it with you. Why did He do this for me? He knew that my heart was broken, and that I did not want it any more. He knew that eventually, my broken heart would be His temple.

So, get up. Dry your eyes. Hear me out.

It will not hurt you to stop thinking about your problems and think about God for a little while. After all, if you are reading this book, then you must have a need for some answers.
