1 CORINTHIANS 10:13 (NI V ) reads 'No temptation has overcome you except what is common (emphasis added) to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. Depression is common. The Holy Bible is a wonderful reference of God’s love. Individually, I believe we are also a reference, a living epistle to be used to point you back to the promises of God. Revelation 12:11 (KJV) sys it this way, 'And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word if their testimony.' In this book I humbly invite you to read testimony. I willingly display my scars and wounds. Come and see, feel, and hear, my journey through the valley of a shadow of depression and suicidal thoughts. Let me show you how God never left me. Don’t give up while in your pit. Just look up and reach out and take my hand. God desires that you live and not die. I am my brother’s keeper!
