Christmas every day? Always on the mountain top?
The mountain top is grand, but the soil is deeper and richer in the valleys. The vineyard is laden with fruit from growing in the valley.
There is no perpetual mountain top in anyone's life. There will always be things that happen in our lives and families lives that will not be "happy hour". These are the times that will cause us to grow and draw closer to our Lord.
Ever been through one of these situations:
divorce death of loved one financial problems relationship problems work related worries health issues homelessness prison victim of violence or rape brokenhearted in love rejected
I'm fairly certain everyone can answer yes, to at least one of these scenarios. Life is not a perpetual happy hour. Sometimes the valleys seem deep and there seems to be no exit. Do not lose hope dear Saints of God! It is in these valleys that God will bring us to new levels and see us through to the other side. Yes, he will.
Glory to God! Even before I knew HIM, he knew me and loved me and protected me.
If you are in a valley time, remember this scripture: and not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience experience, and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 3,4, & 5
God Bless you and show you he is with you through the valley trek.
From one bride to another, God keep you, bless you, increase you, Rhonda

Rhonda, so true! It's when I'm in the valley, that I am closest to my Lord, and where more growth in my walk takes place. Amen1
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness!

So true! When we realize how close he is to us in the valley's and how we can learn there, we develop a whole new appreciation for those times!

I can relate to every one except prison and really sometimes we create our own prisons, so maybe I can relate to that one too. Although our lives are a journey and an experience of learning and growing in our relationship with God, HE IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, even though our lives are not. May we all cast out any doubts and may we all grow stronger in our faith with our Master Creator, Heavenly Father, Lord of all Lords and King of all Kings whom I call God. Love you sister.

As you mature, you will find rolling hills and meadows, even the worst valleys of the past, seem like just saddles between to mountains.
For in God you trust.
Completely.
Know?
Yes?

. Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you.
This time is short, serve Him well, serving all.
Without exception.

Hey! Thank you for stopping by to comment. It does seem to run true that the valley's bring us to our knees more. We can know this too-we are not alone, we have all been through some valleys and of course, we can expect more. Praise God he is with us. GBU

What a beautiful and true comment. Amen. Praying for Vickie and knowing this must be the lowest and most challenging time of her life. God bless you, and may she be strengthened by your faith and witness. Love to you, Rhonda

Hey Izzy, Me too, my friend. While I have a wonderful husband, and all is well with us, that does not stop life's problems from happening. There are other areas that bother. GBU Izzy. Saying a prayer for you now.

Who'd a thunk I'd hit a major valley so soon after reading this! Whew . . . trying to remember all that I believe and let his love pull me through.
