I know I am in the valley now. It is here that I'll learn, grow, experience, discover, dream.
Just wait until I see that mountaintop! Sure, the valley is dark & scary. It rains here quite a bit.
But when I look up past the trees, past the winds--I see the Sun, and the light shining upon my face.
And even when it rains here, that Sun never dies down. The winds blow like crazy. And I trip under my dress. I am tempted to stay fallen on the ground, or just let myself die away.
Still, there is no way that can happen when I feel a strong Hand lift me out of the mud, shake me off, kiss my forehead, and carry me off in His arms. Days go by & I am still in the valley. But rest assured that I am not alone. My Jesus is walking right beside me--picking me up each time I fall. Helping me become stronger. Talking with me, teaching me, correcting me. More importantly, loving & comforting me.
Through the winds, He's my shield. He knows everything about us. Our little minds don't even get that. Through the deep, dark valleys--His light is perfect warmth.
