This is a song that has been resounding in my head for probably the entire year. It has become an anthem for me. The words are so simple, but hold so much truth. "Never once did we ever walk alone, never once did You leave us on our own. You are faithful, God You are faithful."
We have definitely gone through the valley this year (and are still going through it). Sometimes when you're going through the valley, it seems so dark that it can be easy to think that God has left you. But even when we are faithless, God is always faithful and never leaves us alone. I've heard many times that when you're in the valley, its hard to see the light. And it made sense, but I'd never really experienced anything physical like this that helped me understand this concept until our visit to Colorado. When we were visiting the Royal Gorge, it was a beautiful, sunny day, with only a few clouds. But when we went down into the gorge (the valley), it wasn't sunny at all. In fact, it was kind of dark. It was damp and cold. It was such an eye opener to be able to experience that and be able to apply that my spiritual life. Just because you're going through tough times, it doesn't mean that the Son has gone away. It just means you have to try that much harder to see Him and to remember that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)
Over and over again, God has proven Himself faithful. Through my fears, stress, worries, anxiety...God has and is always there walking with me along the way. I know that this is a little different from my normal posts, but I hope that this will help you out when you go through your own struggles.
<3 to all!
