I am a Christian who takes medication for depression. I refuse to hide this truth because I know other Christians listen to the lie they tell themselves that if I was a good enough Christian, I wouldnt need medicine...I would get over my depression with Him alone. Taking medication does not diminish my faith in Christ. I believe that He can heal me from this condition, but I also realize that just because He can, it doesnt mean He will. He is not cruel for not doing so. Perhaps my life, in its own challenged way, can help someone else know that depressed or not, God loves us. I find hope through my depression knowing that the promise God made me is real. It was never a promise for an easy life. It was a promise to love me through it and to be at the finish line with a huge embrace. I love Him because He first loved me. He loves me as the imperfect person I am because He knows that through Christs sacrifice, I will one day be the perfect person He intended me to be. It just wont be here. Dont be ashamed that you asked for and took the help that was offered. And if you have refused that help for the reasons above, stop listening to the lies you are telling yourself. Medicine doesnt fix everything...but it can help when prescribed and taken correctly. One day I wont need it. That may be here on earth...or it may not be until I see Jesus in heaven. Either way, I love Him...and He loves me. He loves you too.
