No matter what I go through, or I have been through, or I am going to go through.... I am so thankful "I see You" Jesus in everything. I will always hold Your hand right where I am, because I know You are always with me, teaching me how to walk through this life.
Life is full of mountain views, but there are also valleys we will experience as well. Hopefully we learn and grow there....Lyrics: "I've seen the view up on the mountain where troubles seem a million miles away. I know the lonely of the valley when sorrow is close enough to taste."
Romans 8: 28, I am guilty of looking at this scripture and just expecting everything to work out for the good like it says. But if you read from verse 22-30, you really get more understanding. We are called according to God's purposes, and to be conformed to the image of Christ. Definition of conformed: comply with rules, standards, or law. It's easy to teach, standards, rules, laws, but to watch the choices people make is the hard part. Some of us have been around awhile and try to teach others to spare them the pain you went through, but we all have to learn in the valleys on our own. If the outcome is looking more like Jesus, than that is for the good, and that's God's purpose.
We will have our share of pain and suffering in this life. We will go through things we may never understand. It may be the pain someone else has caused you. It may be something we brought on ourselves. Whatever it is, I pray it leads us to the cross. That is where we will gain more understanding.
Through the valley, one thing I know for sure, not once, but many times I have been there in different experiences. When you come out of each experience, you won't be the same person who went in. With each valley you go through, you will become stronger and wiser. That's what the valley is all about. You will mature in your walk with Jesus and see more mountain views.
