•This disorder you and I have is not a character flaw.
•This disorder you and I have is not a faith issue.
•This disorder you and I have is not who we are.
•While this disorder may have been the reason (or part of the reason) for some failures and poor choices and relationship difficulties in our lives; when we take responsibility for our actions, the Lord offers to us his forgiveness. His mercies are new every morning.
•You and are not “less than” because of this disorder.
•The Lord loves you and me and through him we receive second chances and new beginnings. (O God of second chances and new beginnings, here I am again!)
•If you are interested in even more encouragement from a spritural perspecitve – here is a link to a local raido program several of us did this past week regarding the church and mental health issues.
