So, today I was talking with a friend about the possibility that hell is on earth.
I said that I sometimes feel that God is avenging some wrong I did to some person somewhere in my past and that maybe being depressed and miserable is to be my lot in life.
Then I thought to myself that I was warned that my faith would undergo testing as long as I'm on earth, and that the accuser stands in the presence of God constantly and points out every moment of doubt and sin I have.
So then as I talked about this, it occurred to me that when I'm feeling depressed, angry, suicidal, spiteful and rebellious - I need not to 'cheer up' but rather - I need to hang on to Jesus and keep on praying and believing in his grace and love.
Keeping the faith against all odds confuses the devil and therein lies the victory.
Praise be to the Lord for ever and ever for his unending goodness and love.
