Valley & Mountaintop

I have seen Him in both valley and 

Mountaintop -

When I don’t feel the same,

When circumstances change,

His kindness remains -

When low, He sets a table,

Reminding me, with Him, I am able,

Never wavering from His love-locked gaze.

When on high, He strengthens me,

Pulls me forward,

Waits patiently,

Walks next to, before, and behind,

Over and over, He reminds me,

“In a rush” is not His kind of time.

I have seen Him in these places, 

The laughs, 

The tears,

My friends’ and families faces,

The joy-filled adventures,

The painful goodbyes,

And still, His Nature never lies.

He is true,

He is kind,

His love is patient,

His eyes are not blind to a single area of our lives.

This King,

This Friend,

Whose careful hands hold.

Whose knee chooses to bend,

To listen to the details,

Beginning to end.

I have seen Him in the valley,

I have seen Him on the mountaintop, 

And I can say without hesitation,

His glory has no end,

His love never stops.
