A Leader, Depression, And Blessings

by on 06/09/2010 in Leadership Development

Charles Spurgeon, 1834-1892, was a popular preacher, pastor, writer, and theologian.  He gave a lecture about how depression precedes a blessing.  Here is what he said:

Before any great achievement, some measure of depression is very usual…such was my experience when I first became a pastor in London.

He then added:

This depression comes over me whenever the Lord is preparing a larger blessing for my ministry.

Have you ever had this experience?

    How ironic. And strangely, comforting.
