Step 1. Realize that depression is not a sin but a symptom. The way we respond to depression may be sinful, but the emotion itself is not. Sin may lead to depression, but all depression does not come from sin. Depression is like a warning light on a vehicle. The way to turn off the warning light is not to smash it out, but to find the problem. When depression sets in, something deep inside is usually wrong.
第一,要知道抑郁并非是罪而只是一種癥狀。我們對待抑郁的方式也許是有罪的,但抑郁的情緒本身并不是。罪可能會導致抑郁,但所有的抑郁并非是來自罪。抑郁就像車上的警示燈一樣。要關閉警示燈不是把它砸碎而是找到出問題的地方。當抑郁降臨的時候,通常都在暗示內心出現問題了。
