If my story ended here, it would be a tragedy

This is the sweetest message I could’ve possibly received. Thank you so much for caring enough to write me all of this. I have started gardening, I want to give what I have to nature. I’m also going to try to go for walks as you suggested and come back home and write everything I think. I know I’m only 16, but it feels like I’ve flushed my teenage years down a void of nothingness, and there isn’t much left. I’ll never get these years back and I’m really disheartened with how I’ve spent most of them feeling depressed. But I guess, I have also grown exponentially in these years and learned so much about myself and who I am, knowing that there is so much more that I don’t know. Anyways, I have hopes that I’ll truly find fulfilment in all the ways that I am meant to. Thank you for your kind words, once again. I wish you all the best 💕

You are Precious.
And for 16 years of living,
you are remarkably astute with
Wisdom and Insight.
Consider this: like your garden:
whatever Loss you may feel in time and in living, YOU are in the Garden of life.
YOU have been planted by God,
and YOU
have been weathered
and Grown.
How is that?
By the very Depression you have had overshadowing you.
Yet, Look how this darkness has opened up a Light!
In your youth right now, you are beginning to put your past behind and you are Moving forward.
God IS GROWING you.
You have identified the enemy: Depression.
You are not alone. That enemy is a spiritual battle.
As far as losing time:
Here is a promise… it comes from Joel 2:25:
“So I will restore to you
the years
that the swarming locust has eaten,
The crawling locust,
The consuming locust,
And the chewing locust,
My great army which I sent among you.”
God is faithful.
Any Time you feel you have lost,
God will redeem.
Let me briefly share with you:
Trials are a gift.
In the Bible, read the book of James.
All things that come into our lives are filtered by the loving hands of God.
Like you tending to your garden, God is tending to His.
Sweet one,
may I encourage you to write about your garden. See the beauty, the work, the care, the weathering, the dryness, the rain, the growth, the weeds, the pruning, the multiplication by propagation;
ALL you do,
Watch, observe and provide,
IS parallel with your life.
The weeds and insects can creep up on you. They will destroy some, but with your watchful eye, you will do what is necessary to help your garden grow.
With daily attention, you are caring for that which feeds you.
You have already grown thru a storm.
I am SO very proud of you.
Why?
You have identified your enemy,
Depression,
and tho it may have tormented you with Tragedy, you have within you a Warrior spirit.
I say with confidence, keep looking up
for
Gods Blessings are being poured upon you and into you.
Those of us who have read your post are cheering you on.
I am and will continue to pray For you and Over you.
We have a Mighty God.
Let me end with this:
It comes from Philippians 1:6:
“…. being confident of this very thing,
that
He
who has begun
a good work
in you
will
complete it
until
the day of Jesus”
In His Grace and Mercy, I praise Him for your life.
He does wonders in the storms and fires of life.
He is working in you.
You have His Hope and Guidance.
Read Isaiah 61

You Are Blessed.
