One of my friend I got to know from MSN was recently depress. During one of my MSN session, he told me about his depression, about his girlfriend dumping him, about how he felt far away from God. So I did what everybody would normally do, comfort him, encourage him plus since he asked me about Psalms 23 so I explained to him what it means to me.
All this brought memories when I was feeling down not too long ago. Unlike my friend, I didn't became super depress about it or thought of committing sucide. Instead, since one of my problems was I felt God far away from me so I tried reaching out to Him even though it didn't happen overnight. I read God's promises from the bible and tried to understand it. My friend, Han Yuen also gave me a few links to Christian websites so I visited them and as I read them I also learn more about God and life. Other than that, cards made by CF e-people also encouraged me throughout this period of time. As I did all those, I really experience God in my life and that was how I got closer to Him and in God's presence there's fullness of joy. Christian friends around me also encouraged me a lot.
To all of you who feel far away from God. If you take 1 step towards God, He will take 100 steps towards you. Continue to do your quiet time regularly and God keeps His promises!
