I am a very happy and contented person, but once I had terrible trouble with depression. Actually I am mildly bi-polar. I didn't mind the highs at all, but the lows were awful. I needed lithium bicarbonate to help me. I have taken it for twenty four years and have never looked back. Sometimes we need treatment to help us but sometimes we have just got our lives in a mess and we need help from our Creator. Bring your troubles to Jesus. There may be things in your life, almost certainly, that need forgiving. You may need to forgive someone else. Holding a grudge against someone is probably doing you more harm than it is doing them. Let it go. Sometimes we can't forgive ourselves and we carry a big burden around with us, what they call baggage nowadays. You need to lay that baggage at the cross. What a pity when Jesus went to the cross for us if we won't let him do his job and forgive us. You can't pull yourself up by your bootlaces, you need help. Let him help you.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
