In The Valley

A friend sent me this, it was so good just had to share 🙂

“Sometimes life seems hard to bear, full of sorrow, trouble and heartache. Remember, that it’s in the valleys that you grow closer to your Heavenly Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If you always stayed on the mountain top, and never experience pain, you would never appreciate God’s Infinite Love for you and would be living without reaching out for His Healing Power and Touch, His Courage and Strength, His Mercy and Grace, His Compassion and Caring, His Love, Joy, and Peace.

There is SO much to learn, although your growth may seem sometimes like crawling, and you feel like you need the mountain tops, but it’s in the valleys that you truly grow. No doubt, it’s hard to understand why things happen on earth the way they seem to us and the ones we care for. Be VERY sure and trust the One thing, that your Lord will ALWAYS see you through. 

When you picture Christ on the cross, your little valleys are really nothing to compare. Jesus went through the valley of death and His Victory was for you personally and the evil one’s loss. One should ask our Lord to forgive us for ever complaining about anything. We should ask Him when we are feeling SO down, to just give us a gentle reminder, that it’s in the valleys that we grow. Ask Him to to use your life every day to share His Love and Peace with others. Ask Him to provide His Direction to help other of His Children to find their way, to increase His Kingdom. Thank Him for the mountain tops, even for the valleys, for ALL things, large and small, for His Glory and Honor.

My thoughts and prayers are that you continue to grow closer to our Lord. That when it just seems impossible to keep going on sometimes, remember that Jesus Christ has NOT EVER given up on you! He even helps you with your prayers to His Father! He IS Good like that! In Jesus’ Name. Thy Will be done. Amen. Peace.”
