Blue

When I am feeling blue, I like to sit in the sunshine and look at a bright blue sky. I am very blessed to only suffer from a mild form of depression

, unlike some other people I know. Yes, I sometimes thought it was a curse but I have learnt that there are some things that will make me feel down (grey skies and dark places) and somethings will lift my spirits.

I have also learnt that God is still with me even when I am feeling down. How do I know this? I know this because He has promised: “for He Himself has said, “I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,” so that we confidently say, “THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?” Hebrews 13:5b-6.

Regardless of my issues with it, I know that what works for me will not work for others so I’m not about to tell you how to fix it.

What I will say is that today I am grateful for a blue sky and I thank God that I am alive.
