Walk with me through the valley
Some days it’s hard to keep going.
Some days are easier.
You’re human.
You have not been affording yourself the grace to experience the days as they are.
You’re super spirituality does not allow you to acknowledge the valleys.
I did not tell you that you would get a free pass and miss the valleys.
I did not tell you that I would rescue you from the valleys.
What I did tell you is that I would be with you as you go through the valley of the shadow of death.
Do you remember now?
Why are you surprised that you are going through the valley?
Ah, but you say you are not surprised by the valley?
If you are not surprised you are going through the valley then why are you praying to escape?
Walk with Me through the valley
Are you really ready to walk through?
Obviously there are no mountain peaks in the valley.
How far can you see from the peaks, from the heights?
There is no such vision in the valley.
You can only see as far as the next turn in the road, if that far.
On the heights of the mountain you are above the treeline. In the valley you’re often in the forest.
What lurks in the forest?
What shadow remains?
Can you navigate the forest?
I invite you to walk with Me
Walk with me through the forest on the valley floor.
Walk with Me through shadow.
But you still have your questions.
How long is this valley?
How steep is the climb to get out?
When will we reach the heights again so that I can see into the distance?
Now let me ask you some questions.
Am I not God in the valley and on the heights… at the same time?
Am I not bigger than you?
Don’t you think I’m a little taller than you?
You say you cannot see, but do you think I cannot see?
If I’m taller, can I not see farther than you?
Can you not trust me again like you once did?
Will you not walk through the valley with me?
