What made it worse was that she had somehow got the idea that Christians couldn't be depressed, and so she started believing that she must have committed the unforgiveable sin, which made her more depressed; and so on in a spiral. It wasn't until she got proper medication that she started to come round. | |

(John 14:27) I'm not saying that "sin" cannot exist in the heart of a believer, since since is a condition of humanity. I'm saying that despair cannot. Is Jesus' peace just simply not enough for someone? Philippians 4:7 says that the peace we have from Christ transcends all understanding. Suicide is never the effort put forth from a peaceful soul. | |
