Do you feel as though
everything you touch falls apart—that your life is in conflict and you feel
caught in the dark crevices of life?
Be faithful and TRUST
GOD in the dark places because that
is where you are shown how to grow.
It may feel like a test and a challenging moment and it is, but when
something is ending in your life and when things are falling apart, it usually
means that the old ways must be cut and severed so the New Tomorrow can be born.
It is easy to get discouraged
with life when we are pushed into a dark place of despair and fear. God doesn’t send the difficulties but
He allows them so that we can grow our spirit and develop the depths of our
soul because in truth that is our true purpose—to grow and move out of our
comfort zone. God doesn’t cause
the pain but He definitely allows pain to appear because He knows that in our
dark places we will get stronger –braver and more in tune with the wonders that
God wants us to know.
This may be the time when
your faith is stretched and challenged but know that this is also the time when
you must develop your spiritual muscles and show God and yourself that you are
a winner and will not give up. When I have been challenged in my life, the pain
was intense-fear set in and doubt and worry were always present. I soon was
shown that this was the time that my soul developed a strength
that I would never have
understood
if I was not brought to this place. God is growing our character—our sense
of value and worth to see if we are worthy and up for the task. It is during these times that we are
shown who we are and what we CAN become.
God’s message is: We must go
through the valley in order to get to the other side—the side where our joys
and greatest moments will be revealed.
It may not seem fair or just but when you are brought to the other side
of the dark valley, you will walk into the brightness of your celebration. God is leading you to your glory but
you must fist walk through the darkness of the valley if you want to reach your
destiny. Believe that on the other
side of the valley is the feast prepared for you. The dream you have been dreaming about for a long time is
about to be revealed. When you are
confronted with your dark places—Trust God—#Believe in His Power and
Get Excited because you are being
prepared for your greatness. This
experience is simply a prerequisite for your extraordinary journey.
We all have questions—we may
lack understanding and reasoning but don’t get caught up in the logical
reasoning. Instead, continue to honor God, trust in His way and believe that
God has a purpose; that the perfect reason of why you were brought to this dark
place will eventually make sense.
People do not determine your
destiny—God does! Stay in God’s
favor—praise and give ‘Thanks’ to God for all that you have. Oh, yes, there will be times when we
feel broken, disappointed and move into the darkness - but PLEASE - don’t get discouraged or
bitter. Stay in faith and do not
settle in the valley. Don’t give
up and linger in the valley—continue to move through it—push through the
darkness and keep going. Soon you will see a small flicker of light and as you
keep walking, you will begin to see that small sliver expand into more and more
light and finally you will get through and see the beauty that is waiting for
you on the other side. No one
likes to be buried in the dark places—that is why, you should not linger
there. Your potential can only be
experienced as you continue to keep walking.
Read
this Psalms 23-4—The Lord is my Shepherd:
“He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of
righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.…”
I believe that the journey is
well worth the passage way through the Valley of the darkness. For me, I know I must keep walking!
