Something went wrong for me and I was for a short while very depressed.
Then I realized that this was no good and I asked myself what do I need to get out of such a depressing miserable mood – so I wrote it down and as I did I came out of the miserable mood, lost the depression and I followed what I wrote down.

That afternoon I posted what I wrote on a Christian Facebook page that I run.
⏳
Sometime later I went back to the page and a man had commented underneath it. He said that he was going to commit suicide that day, he had had enough. He had a pistol in his had. He said that he had a strong feeling to look at Facebook before he killed himself – and he read what I wrote and he said that it inspired him and gave him new hope. And with that new hope that he was going to start again and give his life a new chance.

This isn’t the first time this has happened to me when I have put up a status but it always makes me wonder what would have happened if I had not posted what I posted when I did post it? To him a blessing to me very good news but kind of frightening too.

I was walking home from church with a friend and we were talking about how sometimes we just have to feel the pain so that we can share the answers to other people and repair them, comfort them and give them new hopes for the future. And I told him of the event I wrote above.

So if I had not experienced the depression that I had experienced that morning that man would probably have committed suicide. I live to give people hope and seem to have trained myself that no matter how miserable, unhappy or depressed I get I can pull myself out of it and write down how I did it. It does bless people.
I have come to see that God sometimes uses split-second timing that amazes me. Since becoming aware of Gods influence on my life I see more, and I mean I don’t believe in luck, I don’t believe in coincidences. My eyes are opened to the wonders of the world, and the so-called Murphy’s laws and wise theories of science are not what they seem. When the human mind becomes accepting it will believe anything it is told especially if the information comes from someone with a degree or from a book associated with the subject.
If we continue to follow God with new wonder and we allow our minds to accept that the education systems and wordily wise authorities are not nearly as knowledgeable as they claim to be a whole new world opens up to us. And it is based on nature, love, animals, kindness and an empathy that has to be experienced to be believed. And a spiritual connection between God and humankind that guides and leads the way. Believe me, God is the answer to everything.
