Wha...Hey, KB,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link over to this post. <BR/><BR/>What you have described in this post is the beauty of real joy. In the valley, every morning you wake up with tears, and you decide to worship. Sometimes it takes an hour, and sometimes it takes sixteen, but you keep worshipping until you see the sun break through. You see Him there with you. Tears still on your cheeks, and maybe still falling, but your heart relaxes into the knowing that He is there. <BR/><BR/>I'm with you every step on this one. <BR/><BR/>I was complaining against those who walk up and start telling you that the tears are a sin. Those who equate joy with happiness, and who equate tears with faithlessness. It is those who use "This is the Day" as a motto. <BR/><BR/>So far I have gotten through my valleys the same way you did. Just barely, by grace, and singing until the sun broke. Praise the Lord He accepts such offerings.Kevin Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788817477327510023noreply@blogger.com
