IN THE VALLEYS


Sometimes life seems hard to bear,
Full of sorrow, trouble and woe
It's then I have to remember
That it's in the valleys I grow.

If I always stayed on the mountain top
And never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate God's love
And would be living in vain.

I have so much to learn
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
But it's in the valleys I grow.

I do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.
My Lord will see me through.

My little valleys are nothing
When I picture Christ on the cross
He went through the valley of death;
His victory was Satan's loss.

Forgive me Lord, for complaining
When I'm feeling so very low.
Just give me a gentle reminder
That it's in the valleys I grow.

Continue to strengthen me, Lord
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.

Thank you for valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it's in the valleys I grow!


Remember that knees that bend don't shake!

Praise the Lord!!!

John,
this is awesome. I hope all it says is manifested in your life. God gave you talents and you are using them for His kingdom. I copied it and will show it to my son, thanks.

John,
I had my son read your poem after I printed it out and he loved it. I also passed your poem along to a special friend by e mail to encourage her. Thanks again for the poem inspired by God.

Pax,

The Peom was sent to me by and unknow author!
It blessed me so much, I put on the message board to encourage others.

May the Lord continue to minister to your soul. You have a kindred heart that brings glory to everything you write on the board.

Heavenly Father!

I ask you in Jesus name to give Pax and her family a supernatural blessing from up high! May she continue to glow the light of your Holy Spirit. May everyone see the presence of your Love through her body that she would continue to touch the souls of many here on the message board and the places she goes.

Glory to God Pax!!!!
