The Following Word rings true…especially of late. I’ve been manic for several weeks and in these “deep and dark” places and times I remind myself that even here, God is at work. If…I let Him, He will pour His strength into my weakness, His provision and power overcomes my frail inabilities, and His hope rises within. I have to believe something beautiful is developing within….

 Lily of The Valley

Do you not know that the Lily of The Valley grows in deep and difficult places? When it is dark and seemingly barren, rest in the knowledge that beneath the soil, deep within your heart, My roots are growing deeper. Deeper and deeper they spread, anchoring your soul. Yes, it is in the pleasant places where the sun shines forth the beauty of the Lily for all to see. But know and understand My love, if not for the cold, damp, dark and difficult place, the root system would not have become established, and therefore, no blossom would have emerged. Remember My love, The Lily of the Valley grows in deep and difficult places.

Look to Me. I AM here.

About three o’ clock in the morning Jesus came to them, walking on the water.”  Matthew 14: 24-25 NLT   Read more »
