Had I not experienced the valleys

I would not have climbed the

mountains.

Had I not experienced the

turbulent storms of life

I would not know that You

are my Refuge and Strength.

Had I not had sickness and pain.

I would not have discovered that

You are the Great Physician.

Had I not fallen I would not

have known that Your Grace

is enough and that it is Your

Strength that empowers me

in my weakest moments.

Truly had I not encountered

dissapointments, heartaches

and rejection.

I would not have even known

that You gave Your only Son

Jesus Christ to die in my place.

So now I know that because

Jesus Christ lives I can face

each challenge knowing that

I will emerge victoriously!

Had I not known my living

here on planet earth would

have been in vain!!!
