Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.
You look like you for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're just what he wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.
No, that trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept when it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.
You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's rod,
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God!
This poem is from Rick Warren's "The Purpose Driven Life". I highly recommend it to every person on the face of this earth.

Posting and pushing one Evangelical person's Theology is borderline breaking the Rules. Rick Warren is an Evangelical Pastor of Saddleback Church, its an Evangelical Megachurch. Pushing their views on all the people in the Depressed Board is not going to do much for them.
I don't believe I am pushing anything. It is a gesture of hope.
Sorry if it offends you.
God created the world for man, man wanted to be god, man sinned by free will, God let man rule the Earth, man doesn't have God's power, man doesn't love as God loves, man hurts fellow man, man doesn't have the power to control the Earth, God creates and man destroys, God still loves us, man must freely give to God what is His, then God and man live together in love and peace.
Just telling the other side. Thank you.
