Strength to Strength

My God is a God who provides. He is the God who give me hope and a future. He is the God that has given me a dynamic life to share and the God that I will RUN HOME TO!!! I was studying Psalms 84: 1-7 and it hit me, God's strength. When we go through the valley of weeping their we come out with the strength to carry on. He makes us stronger and stronger as he is STRONGER than anything we could ever go through. My God is stronger and there fore I am stronger. With his complete strength I am me.

This song encourages me in truth.
Hillsong - Stronger - With Subtitles/Lyrics

6 Passing through the Valley of Weeping (Baca), they make it a place of springs; the early rain also fills [the pools] with blessings. 7They go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power]; each of them appears before God in Zion.

For so many years I believed that I was worth nothing. I could not even imagine having a husband who whole heartedly waited for me. I can not same the same and it shamed me. It brought brokenness that shaped me from a young age. I thought I would never be good enough or even worthy of a love so great. Where was God? All that time of walking in the valley and seeking comfort and instead finding shame there God was right beside me. Calling for me to turn even just a glimsp to see his eyes. And I found them, I found them and yet I still didn't get it. Through many valleys and many mountains I see him and I know who I am. Although I am not nearly where he wants me to be I am getting there in his strength and he is stronger, he fought hard for me, to the point of death on the cross. Now to show his love and mercy to others is what I am shaped for. That my God who sought after me would use me to touch his beloved people.
