Hi, sweetie, I read the first (bottom) post on your blog at Jesus i need You and thought it was great!!! You are sharing yourself and what you say is the truth, and it could well help others. I think you have done a good thing!

Depression is SO destructive in anyone, Believer or unbeliever. It affects the whole person. It knocks you down. It stops you from relating to others properly, from coping with life, and from what I've seen it affects your relationship with the Lord, making it a whole lot harder than for people who are well.

So that's my take on your blog. You are ALWAYS loved, and it's always nice when you are able to drop in!! Praying daily for you!!

EDIT: Just read your great quote in a later blog:

"Isnt it glorious to know that no matter how unjust something may be, even when it seems to have come from Satan himself, by the time it reaches us it is God's will for us and will ultimately work for our good."

That is so true and so wonderful, and so few people are taught it!! I say to the Lord that whatever comes across His desk to me is absolutely fine by me. I TRUST HIM NOTHING CAN EVER HAPPEN TO ME (from outside) THAT HE HAS NOT ALLOWED OR INSTIGATED.

Hebrews Ch 12:5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:

“ My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;

6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”

7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
