Tears in the Valley

The tears that flowed from Calvary were not those of an angry man but of a lonely man. A man forsaken by both God and man. All through the valley, his eyes were set on the mountain, on the joy that would be his. The valley is not the end of the road. It is simply a land surrounded by mountains. We all experience the ups and downs of life, and most times we feel like breaking out in tears. It is not a sign of weakness to cry while going through tough times. Even Jesus wept. The promise is that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. It takes faith to walk through the valley and maintain a positive attitude. Keep your eyes on the mountain while your tears are flowing in the valley, for you shall rise again. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. (Psalm 23v4)
