God is good

As another afternoon of depression sets in, I went looking for Bible verses to put things in perspective. I know in my mind that it's stupid to be so sad over little things, but I needed something to convince my heart. So, I came across this verse from 2 Corinthians. 4:8-9, 16-18.

"We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed... Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

I love how a verse like this can completely change my mood. Before I started this blog I was fighting back tears, and now I am good. I will re-read this when the inevitable mood swings strike again (I am not going to fool myself into thinking they won't). Friends, I urge you to do the same. God is good!
