Mental health trouble is very confusing, especially when Christians face it. Mental breakdowns can happen to even Christians. My sister and I are examples of how it can happen to Christians. Even in the same family. We both suffer fr om manic depression or Bipolar. Our Grand father and mother also suffered with mental illness. Just like physical illness has happened because the Fall and sin of Adam. Mental illness comes from the fall. Just like Alzheimer is example of the mind being affected.
My mental illness came after I heard a voice that I was going to die. Because of this panic attack my mental illness was triggered and my mind was altered. From then on I would have to face a variety of ways of confusion. The Good News was I had come to Christ and received His forgiveness. God would allow the Bipolar to happen to me to show I could bless others by my recovery and the things I faced. God has been glorified by giving me poetry to share His great love for His children. God has also given Cindy and I medicine that can correct this mental health condition. Very confusing, but true. I have grown Spiritually and I have received medicine that has given me recovery from my condition. Indeed God is good. God would also give me more and more wisdom to help me to overcome my condition.
For One Soul
For one soul,
Has my pain been borne,
For one soul,
I’ll seek His face.
For one soul,
I’ll suffer disgrace.
Why?
For one soul,
He did not turn away,
For that One Soul given,
You see,
Was for me.
He exchanged His life as a plea,
For me to stand before God,
Righteously.
By that One Soul,
I enter eternity.
Like He,
For one soul,
I’m willing to be torn.
For one soul I’ll suffer disgrace,
For even one did He did not turn away.
For that One Soul given,
You see was for me,
Into eternity.
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
