The enemy of God and man is called the accuser. One of his favorite tactics is to remind us of our past shortcomings. Yes, there are consequences of our actions but, thanks be to our Father, we are truly forgiven. Faith in that promise sets of free and helps us have hope for the future. I have suffered from depression during periods of my life but by focusing on the goodness of our Father and His Son, I am becoming a much more productive and positive force. I am saying this as a person whose depression was once so bad that my self harm landed me in intensive care and a hospital stay of 20 or 21 days (memory not perfect ). Through God, we can overcome.
