Lili–
Fortunately (or not) no one flocks to me for wisdom. So there is little danger of my eagerness getting me in much trouble. But I appreciate the caution. The world has too many ‘leaders’ who started from an enlightened place and developed a good message, but then allowed their egos to inflate when they found themselves becoming popular. They may still deliver words of wisdom, but they no longer live them. In the worst cases, they become corrupt and damaging.

But no matter how long it took, I am glad to be open at last. It grants me an eagerness to help others embrace their lives. Let me start with a guarantee: peace is possible, even for stubborn pessimists.

This is wonderful. Be careful with your eagerness the path to hell is paved with good intentions

I think your experience, and mine, repeat themselves countless times across our modern world. I also believe relief can reach anyone, because it has (finally) touched me. I will do my best to give suggestions and insights that will help with the task of breaking through to a larger perspective, greater acceptance, and true peace.

Nancie–

Thanks for the reciprocal drop-by. My spiritual transformation was aided by Christianity, and although I don’t consider myself strictly Christian, I know belief in Jesus rescues the suffering from their pain.

Will,
I am so happy that you are making progress! I will check out Moody’s book. And once again I am amazed that so much of what you say resonates with my experiences, feelings + thoughts. TY for writing here.

Hi Will,

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Sorry that I am so slow in getting back to you. I have not been able to blog regularly but it is always a blessing to have new visitor.

I can fully understand your struggles with depression. Having been through some 12 or more episodes of them over the last 20 years, I am too familiar with the despairing darkness and hopelessness during depression, and the constant yearning for death. I am so glad that you have come a long way and finding true love for life.

For me, life was meaningless until I found a personal relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Now His Words and Spirit comforts me. Though I still battle with the ups and downs of depression and mania, I am learning to manage my condition and live a productive and meaningful life. My greatest comfort is that God loves me and He is with me through all the changing scenes in life.

I have enjoyed this post very much. Thanks for sharing with us. Take care and may God bless you.

Warm regards,
Nancie
