It's in the valleys we grow

Sometimes life seems hard to bear
It's then i have to remember
That it's in the valleys i grow.

If i always stayed on the mountain tops
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 don't always understand
Why things happen as they do
i am very sure of one thing
My Lord will see me through.

My lilttle valleys are nothing
When i picture Christ on the cross
He went through the valley of death
His victory was the devil's loss.

Forgive me Lord for complaining
When im felling very low
Just give me a reminder
That it's in the valleys i grow.

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

Thank You for the valleys Lord
For this one thing i know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it's in the valleys i grow.

In life, challenges will always arise but it is in those seasons of trials that we grow the most. When you're in your valley always rejoice as James 1:2-4 instructs" Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." When you rejoice during your pain, it takes the focus off the situation and magnifies God because nothing that you face can never be bigger than God.
