I didn’t mean to bum anyone out the other day by talking about all of that sorrow and despair. Truly. See, we can’t spiritually override the blue notes in our lives. For years, I tried to do this. Whenever I got down in the dumps, I’d spiritually try to pull myself above them and 'get into a higher vibration.’ This low mood, I thought, was bad. Or, it was false and illusory. Not real.
This is so true. We need to accept the dark, difficult times before we can truly appreciate the bright, joyful times. "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me," the Psalmist says.
Thank you Jonas, such true words. In the midst of my greatest difficulty I could finally see Him, He who has always been standing right with me. Through and in and as my very pain, and my relief. Hard lesson, thank you for sharing
