When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. — Psalm 126:1
All of us walk through valleys. Sometimes the valley seems so deep and so dark that it appears we will remain there forever. But we won’t.
All of our secret dreams go with us into the valley, and there — sequestered from all hope — they burrow deep inside our souls until even we forget they are there.
But one giddy, hilarious morning, Jesus unlocks those dreams, and brings them up out of their dungeons. We breathe the fresh air of hope and splash in the river of life.
Though we descend into the valley — and we must, for we cannot know our Savior without sharing some of His sorrows — we will come out of the valley again — changed, renewed, finding to our surprise the fulfillment of all our hidden dreams.
Be encouraged!
