“Do not be afraid God is with you And do not give way to your emotions, because you are royalty

Today I would like to explore some emotions that probably most of us have experience at some point in our lives. Those two emotions are fear and depression. Some of you know that a couple of years before founding Tree of Life, I was called upon to conduct the funeral of a nice young man who unfortunately succumbed to his deep depression and ended his life at age 15. He had been a guest in our home. We knew his family fairly well. As a result of that funeral, I have read a good bit about depression and how it affects people’s lives.
