Closeness With Jesus

I have been feeling depressed but I have tried my best to rely on Jesus. I know he knows how damaged I am. I have a small Bible I have been reading. I have been reading Psalms and seeing how David relied on God. I also have read some of Job. I feel Jesus is with me when I read his word. I have been trying to become more humble, like Jesus, and it has been healing me. In the past I had very low self esteem and compared myself to others. Jesus is teaching me to be grateful for what I have even though I am broken. It is good to know that Jesus sees me as precious and beautiful. I have also been listening to Christian music, which has soothed me a lot. I have been comparing myself to others less and am grateful for what Jesus has given me. I feel Jesus is trying to heal all the parts of me that my kidnapper damaged. I have grown to love reading the bible everyday. It reminds me of Jesus' love.
