Life is filled with a good degree of both. I can start on a mountain top in the morning and feel like I'm lost in a valley by early afternoon... the inverse occurs equally as often.
During my long commute home from East Mesa (it's amazing how enormous this city is) I had a thought in passing that it really is something to know that neither Heights nor depths can separate us from His love.
I am consistently inconsistent. I waiver daily. I doubt, I struggle with each passing hour. I feel immense highs and severe lows...and everything in between each and every day. Somedays I truly desire to lay down my life in serving others for His name sake, others I simply want to lay down my life so I don't have to face another moment... in spite of this topsy turvy, whirlwind, roller coaster ride i call my existence... through my endless fears, my doubts, successes and failures, joys and perils, my angels and my demons, in my darkest hour...God is with me. Sometimes very apparently, other times almost too distantly... yet He remains.
I have nothing without you...
I wish I could say I'm doing well. but I think i'm just barely getting by. I wish I could say that life was grand, but it isn't, it's mostly disappointing and discouraging and wearing me thin.
But nothing, nothing can separate me from His tender love, His beauty, His mercy... for that, I will give thanks. For that I offer a song of praise.
blessed are the broken in spirit, for they shall be comforted...

Well said.
And it’s through the brokenness, through the struggles, through the desert times, that God is preparing us, teaching us, shaping us, molding us – we may not realize it at the time, we may not realize it this side of eternity, but He called Jesus into the desert, he had Moses, John the Baptist, and the Israelites hanging out in the desert for a while…and it’s in our weaknesses that He is glorified and we are made strong.
Thank you for sharing.
And reminding.
