Are
you in the valley of despair or on the mountain of
Joy? If you are in the valley of despair, you do
not have to stay there!
It is a lie
straight from the pits of hell that we have to
remain in valleys. The Bible says, ???The Joy of
the Lord is your strength???. The Bible also says
in Galations 5:22 ???But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith???.
These are the
ingredients for us to use in our daily lives but
too often we forget to put them into practice.
God has given us all we need to live a daily,
victorious life through Jesus. However, He is not
going to do it for us. We can ask Him for
strength and courage to do what we need to do, but
we are the ones to employ these principles He has
given to us.
I challenge you to
let Jesus help you get out of the valley of
despair and back up on the mountain of Joy. Never
forget that God may want to use you today and you
need to be ready.
