Casting Crowns popularized a song titled, “In Me.” Some of the lyrics follow:
How refreshing to know You don’t need me.
How amazing to find that You want me.
So I’ll stand on Your truth, and I’ll fight with Your strength
Until You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me.
I was impressed at the depth of these lyrics. They serve as a jumping board for my topic: He is God and we are not. Hopefully, these thoughts will serve as a tonic to remedy a popular—but weakened—view of God.

Depression is a problem I think every person faces, at times. Jesus, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief was depressed, even bemoaning that He had no place to lay his head.
But there are different levels of depression that people experience. It doesn’t matter if you are a pastor or layman, depression is an issue.
