FROM THE VALLEY TO THE MOUNTAIN

“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 23:4 KJV

Jesus takes us from the valley of despair to the mountain of happiness.  There is more than one kind of death.  There is the death of a divorce and the death of a friendship.  One of the definitions I found for death in Webster’s Dictionary is “the ruin or destruction of something”.

There were two ladies who had been friends for many years but one day one of the ladies did something and said something hateful to the other lady and their friendship died.  They didn’t trust each other any more and didn’t love one another any more.  I know that hurt Jesus and broke His heart.   

We have a faithful loving Saviour Who loves us so much He died for our sins.  Jesus will always love us because He loves us unconditionally.  His love doesn’t depend on what we do or don’t do.  What a Saviour, this Jesus of Nazareth!  All hail, King Jesus!  Worthy is the Lamb of God!

O that you and I will love one another unconditionally as Jesus has commanded us to love.  Loving one another unconditionally is not an option.  It is a commandment from Jesus.  Can we honestly say we love one another unconditionally?  May God help us to love as Jesus wants us to love one another.
