No man has a perfect life. Sometimes, the 'Perfect' man is sinking deep into depression and draining every minute to the point that he has no life within; but when he is outside, he wears a smile and looks 'perfect'. We have lost many people especially youths to depression and I think it is time to stop that from continuing.

Ask yourself this question: “Why am I depressed?”

If you can be objective, you will find that you have a million more reasons why you should not be depressed but somehow you have consciously or unconsciously accepted a singular reason to deprive yourself of a better life. Forgive me, but I am trying to be being plain and truthful; people who are depressed are wicked, self-centered and ungrateful. They are defensive and believe that every other person that is not feeling the way they are is abnormal. Depressed people are already in a ditch and they will try as much as possible to pull whoever is close to them into that ditch. They do this believing that they are doing the right thing. They believe that every other person is wrong while they are right.

Until you are pushed to the point where they are, you can never get the attention of the depressed person whether the person is your spouse or not. Some people live their lives as complaints addicts; no matter how many goods they have seen or are living with, they always find a single reason to be indifferent. Depressed people consciously find something to complain about in a blessing. By popular demand, you will hear them use lines like ‘what kind of house is this…what kind of woman did I marry…what kind of government is this... what kind of life is this… what kind of God exist…etc’. They always look for something to complain about and are never grateful for the one they already have. Overtime, they experience the complaints and the blessings depreciate.

When you express pain or dissatisfaction or resentment especially towards the will of God, you get stuck to the past and present situation and deprive yourself on the opportunity of seeing the future. Everything happens for a reason. No matter how odd or painful it may be, God’s plans works out for your good.

The greatest mistake the enemy made is making you read this today and not preventing you of being alive today.

Whatever you think you are going through, so many people have gone through worse and they are still alive today, happy and healthy. When depression takes away your sense your gratitude, life becomes meaningless that you can throw it off with a pill, a rope or a jump. You life is like a book, just like this one; you never know what ends it until you get there. On every page and lines of your book (life), you may not find every word (action) favourable, but if you give it time and remain patient, you will be shocked at how glorious your life turns out despite the challenges and situation that you had to go through.

Press On

It is with Love!
