AS HE IS (daily bread)

There was a time when i fell into a depression, and I hated waking up in the morning because I felt I would disappoint myself all over again. I can't live the way I want to. God can't love me; I'm a failure again. I wish I didn't have to live through this day. Lord, come and get me. Such thoughts would fill my mind, keeping me in the dark, keeping me in self-pity. I remember even eating away my feelings of inadequacy; but I still lost weight in the process because I was so into the depression. Thankfully, that depression ended in a few months, but only through a process of healing that had happen to me in my mind and heart. It was probably the most painful experience I ever had with myself, but it was one time where I discovered, for the first time, how deep the Lord's love was for me. I've not fallen into depression since. When we come to realize that Jesus loves us infinitely, we come to see ourselves as He sees us; beautiful, loved, cherished.
