I have walked in the darkness too. I und...Terri, <br /><br />I have walked in the darkness too. I understand the woefulness and the lack of hope, the constant despair. <br /><br />This verse helped me Exodus 20:21 - "And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was." <br /><br />Also II Samuel 22:[10] He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.<br />[11] And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.<br />[12] And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.<br /><br />The most important thing to remember is that GOD IS IN THE DARKNESS WITH YOU! If you are His child, you are in not in there ALONE!<br /><br />And, even though is it painful, and it seems to last forever, and you would so long to see just a little bit of sun, as long as the Lord Jesus is IN THE DARKNESS WITH YOU, you have no reason to fear!<br /><br />He can still see just fine, even in the dark. We have to be willing and submissive just to hang out with him there in the dark until He decides it's time to move on.<br /><br />It is not fun. It is not pleasant. It is hard to smile and be friendly to those who are walking around oblivious to our pain. <br /><br />But God is either GOD, or He isn't! If we believe He is, then we have to trust HIM...even in the dark.<br /><br />I am challenging myself, and so I challenge you too, let's start counting our blessings in the dark. What are the blessings of darkness?<br /><br />I am excited to see where that leads us. I will be praying for you this week, dear sister!<br /><br />AleshaAleshahttp://obtainingmercy.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
