Let’s say you just heard a testimony from someone who said she had been depressed until God completely delivered her. She is, of course, ecstatic. But could it be that she was putting her trust in being healed rather than in the God who loves, forgives, perseveres, and heals? Now consider another woman who has experienced deep depression. Her testimony is that she believes God is good, whether depression leaves or returns. She has learned to persevere in troubles and find contentment in God in the midst of them. That is a glorious testimony.
