Depression

Quote From: psychwife2

People have different approaches in their relationship with God or whatever their higher power of choice happens to be. I don't believe this board was intended to be the backdrop for theological sniping between it's members nor do I think we should sit in judgement of someone who may not believe as we do. Live and let live and if what you do works for you, but please, don't be critical if someone else can't feel the same way. We're all in this together and a devisive front would limit the feeling of support that we come here to receive.

I'm not judging...just asking that we don't use phrases that may hurt someone else.

Everything in life is about God. You cannot exclude Him from any part of it. If you call Heather_79's post judgemental, what do you call the posts that were directed towards her? She is being judged by her faith in the ALMIGHTY God!  As christians, it is our duty to stand up and bring about the HAPPINESS, PEACE, LOVE, JOY, and FREEDOM (from everything including depression) God has given to us. If God has helped, why not share and explain what/how He's done it? Why not give him praise?

 

It's just not right to slap the hand of one and not the other's. Things that others (people who believe differently) are saying hurt us, because it hurts our God!

My faith really means so much to me and to be attacked for not having the same approach as anyone else is very hurtful to me. I am just trying to help people to see that sometimes things can be more complicated than we might even presume. I think the reason God gave us the gifts that we have is so that we will learn to use them for the good of others and for ourselves.

 

It is so difficult to climb out of chronic sadness, these waters run deep and usually derive from a life of pain and difficulty. Hey if I want to be judged I will call my mother in law! LOL! Seriously I agree that relationship is so personal and judgment is HIS right not ours.

 

Many Thanks Mar.
