As a Christian who walked with God so closley for most of my adult life, I let my daily life and routines allow me to drift slowley away from God, so suttle that I did not even relize how far away, went through a nasty divorce after 21 years of marriage, unevenly yoked myself in another bad relationship for 4 years, My father died in the midst of all of this of cancer, and my whole world came crashing down. I learned what the pits of real serious depression was all about, had I not had my 3 girls, I probabily would have tried to just end my misery. Then in church I heard this song and read the lyrics as we sang it, and I got it! I had pulled myself so far away from God that I no longer felt his presence, but I clung to these words and in just a matter of moments, I knew, I left him, he never left me! Jesus can't leave once you invited him to take residence in your heart, and no matter how you feel. You are never alone: O) praise god for that! My outlook on God and my life is so much better now, and knowing what I know, I don't see the pits of depression haunting me in my future.
