Most of the time I feel extremely fortunate for the life that God has decided to bless me with. I have an amazing family, a loving husband, friends, and enough possessions to satisfy me in this temporary home. Yet days come along that make me feel I have been tossed from the mountain top into the deepest, darkest valley I can imagine. I am hurting for those that I love that are hurting. I am worried about things in my life, that I know I need to give to the Lord. I am discouraged and feeling let down.
I think the main reason the valley is always so depressing is because I know what it's like to be on the mountain. However; even through this storm and uncertain time in life, it is comforting to know that whenever I am here, in the valley, my God is waiting to carry me back up the mountain. There is so much we, as Christians, can learn from going through a hard time. One thing that the Lord has brought to my attention today is that we need to show God's love and kindness to ALL. It sounds so simplistic, and yet it is so difficult. We can't always tell who is hurting and who is not. Many people put up a front, but they need God's love and encouragement.
All I know right now is that no matter what I am facing in this life, I will continue to praise my Savior. He gives and takes away, and His name is Blessed. It's so comforting to have a God that knows each tear I cry and each trial I face. I will continue to worship Him.
"And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm"
