Vast Sea of Depression

I was coming out of a very bad depression when I wrote "Rescued From the Sea of Depression" and I have to admit that same sea has threatened to take me under several times since.  A friend's post yesterday reminded of where I was in my life when I wrote this.  It caused me to reflect back over the years since.  The enemy definitely knows our weaknesses and he certainly knows how to suck me back into those horrific murky waters.  Then I am reminded what the enemy means to pull me under the Lord uses for His good after He has lifted me out.  He turns those drowning spells of depression into a beautiful sea of testimony that can encourage and lift others out of their own murky waters.  I have survived that sea of depression, but it's currents are constantly trying to pull me back in. Ahhhhh, but I have a life line like no other and He always cast it before I drown.  You are not alone in that sea, send me a message if this is something you struggle with and allow God to use me as a buoy to keep you afloat as He pulls you into His beautiful ocean.
