I am so glad I found you today! I have had immobilizing depression for years. Just recently (a few months now) God brought me out of that. For which I have been so grateful. But, I see there is still a deep sadness and even anger in me. I go to church and smile like everyone else and do all that I am supposed to do...but the empty feeling remains. Religiousity makes it worse. I feel dishonest, as though I am putting on a FACE, which I am. I am being real with God now. Why can't I be real with other Christians without feeling condemned! They are all so perfect. Or so it seems. I feel as though I don't fit in! I am trying my best to cling on to the free grace of God. Others though would make me feel like I am weak or sinning (as they did in the past) because I feel the way I feel...... Sorry, just sharing... H! I am so glad I found you today!

Yes, don't deny the fact that you feel the way you do, just run into your heavenly father's arms... surrender into His love and trust that He is in control... then by faith walk each day trusting that He's working things together for your good (because He is!) Such a blessing to read your comments. With Love :) Caleb Nina,

A depressed Jesus... hmmm... an interesting image. I never looked at it that way. And to think you had these thoughts back in 2004. I was just a newborn Christian then. :) My workshop starts next Sunday (20th... it got postponed). It'd be great to have to there, Caleb! C'mon, now...don't make me beg! ;-) (just kidding) Another great thought. A depressed Jesus… hmmm… an interesting image. I never looked at it that way.
