I arrogantly ignored the prompting of the Holy Spirit. I substituted the wisdom of God for the wisdom of my own mind. Guess what, my great mind directed me into great problems with great consequences which produced great depression and great tears. Let me give you some advice that's literally worth a million dollars. I was depressed.
Depression is anger turned inward.
The end of the road, the ultimate act of the depressed person is suicide. A few weeks ago I talked about anger being the second stage. The end of the road for anger is murder. The ultimate response of anger is killing your brother. The ultimate response of depression is killing yourself.
