“Valleys of Life”

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Abba Father good evening – Trials of life are part of living within a world of extreme brokenness. Challenging our everyday perseverance. Constantly attempting to weaken the foundation of everlasting life in heaven by creating feelings of endless hopelessness. Valleys encountered intentionally or unintentionally are always surrounded by living hope. Amazing beauty. Continually being uniquely transformed. The challenging terrain within each trial is where perseverance becomes innermost character of sustaining life. Depths of valleys do not determine who we become. It is what we see, hear, learn, trust when we cannot see past the steep slopes appearing to be overwhelming, trapping our life in. We must keep moving forward praying, believing, trusting. Reaching out to our living God every moment with an open heart, open mind, open soul. Staying in constant communication. Resting when we must. But keep-on moving forward being connected with the living word within the holy bible. God’s holiness of truthfulness breathing life from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:2. Anointed life with refreshing encouragement, living affirmation, and reassuring promises to never leave us, never forsake us, never abandon us. Continuously providing our life with well needed hope, strength, protection to encounter and endure uncertainties of this life as we live among the ways of this world. The living bible is filled with promise after promise of a bright future. Opening our heart with unconditional love, refreshing our mind with truth, comforting our soul with precious gifts of undeserved grace. Truth, wisdom, discernment needed when hardships, struggles, trials, temptations, uncertainties encounter our life intentionally or unintentionally. Life’s brokenness attempts to isolate life from intimacy within our living God within valleys of life. An amazing living God who loves all of life. Every life is personally loved with agape love breathing sustaining life. We will encounter no valley alone. No terrain is unbearable. No depth is unclimbable. Every valley contains God’s powerful cleansing redeeming restorational undeserved grace breathing eternal life into life’s brokenness with anointed sustainable life from everlasting life in heaven. How we respond and reach out. Where we turn and who we trust. Determines length, depth, duration of valleys attempting to entrap our life with ungodly untruthfulness breathing fear, desperation, isolation, hopelessness. Valleys full of rough terrain, slippery slopes, and no horizon in sight. Take some time. Reflect on valleys in life. Who helped you through the rough terrain? Pulled you up the slippery slopes? Encouraged you to keep moving forward? Provided hope to see the horizon? Who could feel our pain? Understand our fear? Comprehend our desperation? Relate to our isolation? Know our hopelessness? The living bible teaches about valleys of the ways of this world and horizons of our living God, our Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit. Willingly reading, holding, engaging this book of life as a way of life. There will be no valley too steep, too slippery, too confining. Praying continuously, fellowshipping openly, attending church regularly. Hardships, struggles, trials, temptations, uncertainties of life become valleys of beauty within our living God. Valley’s breathing hope, perseverance, affirmation, endurance, strength gleaming with horizons of sustaining faith. Valley’s transforming our heart, our mind, our soul with free-gifts of life-changing undeserved grace breathing everlasting life into life’s brokenness. Valleys gleaming, anointed, and breathing promising horizons of faith willingly believing, accepting, trusting, following our living God, our Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit. Gleaming horizons shining into life’s brokenness with un-earnable, un-purchasable, un-creatable gifts breathing within every moment hope, unconditional love, compassionate forgiveness, eternal life in heaven. Horizons we can willingly breathe within this very moment. Remember. We have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. We can live in rough terrain, slippery slopes, unseen horizons of the ways of this world. Or willingly pray with boldness, courageousness, fearlessness. Breathing horizons of everlasting hope in valleys of life believing, accepting, trusting, following God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Living faith is where valleys of life become gleaming horizons.

Father – Thank you for always being right by my immediate side. Never leaving me, never forsaking me, never abandoning me. Breathe anointed sustainable protective blessing into my inner-core of life with gleaming horizons of life-changing undeserved grace. Opening my heart, my mind, my soul in valleys of life’s brokenness as I willingly believe, accept, trust, follow breathing life within you Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.
