You know, I'd say what I like is that the valley's make you feel closer to Him. It's always made me more dependant on Him and shown me my need of Him, but I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a tendency of bitterness as well especially after prolonged seasons in the lows...
What a lovely read. It makes me think of Psalm 23. Comfort isn't really comfort until it proves itself in the middle of the uncomfortable.
Love this! It reminded me of the lyrics to one of my favorite songs.
“I will praise on the mountain
And I will praise you when the mountain is in my way
You're the summit where my feet are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
'Cause You're the heaven where my heart is
In the highlands and the heartache all the same”
absolutely truth-soaked words. i agree wholeheartedly that there’s nothing quite like dwelling in the valley to experience God so deeply.
This is really beautiful, Ali. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Thank you, Aaron!
