VALLEYS

"Valleys are part of life's journey.

And even when they last a long time,

they are still 

temporary."

Jennifer Rothschild

This fact gave me the first step out of depression and, yes, a  l o-n-g valley. I sat at our dining room table, looking out our patio door. It was a beautiful day with birdsong, but I was crying in hopelessness.

I heard these words in my heart:

"No matter what it is, its temporary." 

No matter how hard;

No matter how ugly:

Temporary.

And for those of us who know Jesus, it absolutely is!

He has gone to prepare a place for us.
