Mountain of God

I don't understand why things can't be easy. It always seems that when something good happens, and I'm excited.. that excitement is soon replaced with disapointment.
I can't count the number of times I been disapointed by medicines, doctors, and treatments. I can however tell you that it's very discouraging to be in a position where it seems that more often than not, things don't work out for the best.

It's hard, and I sometimes get very upset thinking about all of the oppertunities that I have lost because of the way my life has gone in the past 4 years. I can't being to tell you how many times I've thrown my hands up and said "Why God? Why me?"
His answer is always the same.. I was given this "burden" (or blessing) because God knows that with Him, I can handle it. He doesn't ever say that things are going to be easy.. infact, He promises that life on this earth WON'T be easy, but I find much happiness when I remember that even though much pain and suffering will come from this life, my Jesus HAS promised that He will NEVER for a moment leave my side.

That doesn't mean that I will always be able to feel His presence. There have been many times when I have felt that God has left me to walk this long road alone. But it is in times such as those that I remember His promise, and I realize that sometimes God tests us with times of seeming seperation in order to help us grow closer to Him.
One of my favorite songs is " Mountain of God" by Third Day. If you have never heard this song I encourage you to look it up and listen to the words.
The lyrics of this song comfort me immensly during times where I feel that I can't carry on.
" Even though the journey's long, and I know the road is hard, well the one who stands before me, He will help me carry on. And after all that I've been through, now I realize the truth, that I must go through the valley to stand upon the mountain of God."

Be encouraged! I promise you that the depth of any of the valleys you do face in this life, will NEVER compare to the height of the mountain tops you stand on with our God.
