Can I let you in on a little secret?

I’m not perfect! And, I already know you aren’t either.

So how about if we both stop trying to live behind the mask and take the pressure off ourselves, and just be real? Wouldn’t that feel better?

Hope Prevails No Shame in Depression

Friend, do you ever have dark days? Do you ever go through those dark spells where you’re just in that pit of despair?

Maybe you’re going through a period of depression.

So often what I hear people say is that they’re ashamed of going through those times and I can understand that because I was there. In fact, I was the doctor who went through the depression and I didn’t want anyone to know because I thought I was supposed to have all the answers.

But, if there’s one thing I learned through my journey. It’s that there is no shame in going through depression. There’s no shame in heart disease or diabetes or allergies.

But, the other thing that I want you to hear from me today is that you don’t have to stay there. There is hope.

One thing I learned through my journey is there's no shame in going through depression. There's no shame in heart disease or diabetes or allergies. If you're suffering today, you don't have to stay there. There is hope. Out of the shadows, Hope Prevails! #depression

If you’ll just hold on, take my hand, let’s go through this journey together.

Because the one thing that I’ve learned is because of Him, Hope Prevails!
