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种症状。我们对待抑郁的方式也许是有罪的,但抑郁的情绪本身并不是。罪可能会导致抑郁,但所有的抑郁并非是来自罪。抑郁就像车上的警示灯一样。要关闭警示灯不是把它砸碎而是找到出问题的地方。当抑郁降临的时候,通常都在暗示内心出现问题了。
