Don’t Give Up!

I know what it feels like. Walking on and on in the valley but it’s like you’re stuck and can’t get free. Like the mountains won’t move out of your way. Like the sea won’t part and the oceans won’t calm. The storm around you can cause a storm inside of you that feels so much bigger than the storm that’s actually around you. We are like a boat in the middle of the storm and our sails get torn and we become stuck. But God can sow our sails back together. He calms the storm. Don’t give up! I’ve been there. I know sometimes it’s like everything around us is perfect and the sun is shining but on the inside of us it’s just a storm and the clouds are all around. When I feel so dark and broken inside, I sit in the sunshine and I soak it all in. I have been walking through a valley for years now. Just wanting to get better and find healing. And for a month, I was walking through hell. But my mom reminds me, even though it’s like I’m walking through hell, I don’t have to build my house there. You need to hear that. You may be walking through the valley, but don’t stop and build your house there. God can move mountains and calm waves and part seas. So Don’t Give Up!
