Self-depreciation and depression healed

Toni Wengler

There is nothing more hopeful and beautiful than to know and accept as true that our Father-Mother God loves us. His love is ever present; He never abandons us in time of need. However, for some time I simply didn’t believe I was worthy of God’s love.

For many years I suffered from destructive criticism from others. I felt deserving of this treatment even when I knew I was innocent of wrongdoing. I became depressed, fearful of continued mistreatment, and convinced that I was worthless and a burden to others.

One day a friend asked why I was allowing other people to have so much power over me—to make me feel so miserable. My friend awakened me to see that I was allowing others to rob me of my sense of spiritual individuality and worth as God’s beloved child.
