yes depression is real, but so is God.
depression, all hopelessness. helplessness. the agony of sorrow. not feeling like myself. the feeling of never measuring up. the disappointment. the buildup of frustration. the weariness. the unknown tears. the spiral of negativity. the dark cloud was over me. the weight was heavy.
It was all there, but the weight of God’s marvelous glory and Spirit was more.
The safest place to be was just on my knees.
All I could give was my “be still” and let the tears fall, all I had was my weaknesses to give you.
Yet you took that and used it for Your glory. That in the midst of our deepest pains you are present. you were there carrying me and grace each day you gave me.
Depression may be real, but so are you. You are more higher, than our seemingly great thoughts.
Your ways are not my ways.
Your thoughts are not thoughts.
For your ways are greater than my own.
For your thoughts are higher than my own.
Isaiah 55:11
Keep humbling yourself before Him, keep going to your secret place even when you don’t feel his presence near. Keep praying, even with just being still and acknowledging Him. He is close to you.
He is more than feelings, God is a reality.

But Jesus.
I’m a wretched sinner, but Jesus.
It was Jesus that took me in.
He didn’t see me in perfection.
He didn’t see the many trophies I won,
good education I had.
But Jesus saw the broken in me.
I was undeserving, bitter inside, prideful, a
disappointment, lonely, full of myself, insecure.
I was dirty, wearing filthy rags.
But Jesus, he took me in and let me sit at His
table. He gave me new, white robes and put on
my filthy rags instead.
And I said…
“Thank you. But Jesus how can I repay you?”
He said,
“Come, follow me…”
Written by the Holy Spirit in me

Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
Psalm 24
Jesus Christ, the King of glory, is knocking on
the doors, let him in.
If you let him in, He will come eat with you and
feed you with something this world can’t give
you. He comes bring salvation to all who believe.

At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth [I openly and joyfully acknowledge Your great wisdom], that You have hidden these things [these spiritual truths] from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants [to new believers, to those seeking God’s will and purpose]. Matthew 11:24-26 (AMP)
