Too Many People Give Up.  I Know What That's Like.  I Almost Gave Up Too.

Too many swings are empty. I've been through enough things in life where I've experienced a lot of massive blows of disappointments as well as simple irritations and frustrations.  Bottom line is we are not here for our own purpose, but we are here to know our purpose.

Yesterday I heard from 4 different individuals, all suffering from a depressive state.  I get it.  I was there once.  It's dark.  It's hopeless and you truly don't see a way out. Every time you attempt to dig out, you feel like the walls just collapse around you and you're just sinking instead.  Until you finally stop fighting and give up.

Too many people give up.  I know what that's like.  I almost gave up too.

Depression is scary, and unstable and lonely and hopeless.  You will probably agree that most times you reach out for friends and family and things to save you...only to find the walls cave in, and you're just sinking deeper. You might even blame people for not being there, yet sometimes, you have to battle things alone.

Too many people give up. I know what that's like.  I almost gave up too.

It's hard to explain to people the relationship with Christ.  Too many people focus on "church doctrine" to save them.  They look at Christian behavior to try to mentor.  Yet, they find fault, and failure, and get even more discouraged.  The body of Christ is flawed, they always will be...we aren't following the body of Christ...we are following Christ.  Together.

Too many people give up.  I know what that's like.  I almost gave up too.

There's something to be said about "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."  Now don't try to twist it.  Sometimes, we make poor decisions, we do stupid things, we do things we know eventually will destroy us, but we've gotten numb to certain areas in our lives and we try to block them out, by filling them with mistakes. God doesn't make mistakes.  You were created with purpose...but sometimes, we stray from that purpose.  So when you say you were born that way...consider if that is really the case, or if you've just gone down a road that has lead you to where you are.  God's road is never too far off your path...people get lost....but God is GPS... He knows exactly where you are, you just have to ask.

Too many people give up.  I know what that's like.  I almost gave up too.

I fell in love with Christ 11 yrs ago.  It's been an incredible journey.  I've been healed of many things; depression, anxiety, rejection, pain, hurts, unforgiveness, unworthiness and insecurity, just to name to a couple.  Not to mention all the gifts I've been given, all the God Moments I've seen.  The joy, the peace, the fight, the victory.  I wish I knew how to give it away to those that are still giving up and make them see that the best part of getting knocked down is the feeling of standing back up.

Proverbs 4
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
    keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead;
    fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
    and be steadfast in all your ways.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
    keep your foot from evil.
