Do you ever wonder why God allows us to go through the valley? It seems that when we are experiencing the worst times of our lives, is when our defining moments present themselves. In other words, you have to squeeze the olive to get to the oil inside.

God uses valley situations to teach us the things that may not always be clear to us when life is like a bowl of chocolates, and all is well. I believe, that getting the message or learning the lesson he’s trying to teach determines how many times we may have to return to the valley, and how long we get to stay there. The valley can get dark at times, our hopes and dreams can appear to be out of view. We sometimes feel like our labor is all in vain. Don’t worry, your labor is not in vain, it’s producing something. Your date of deliverance is at hand. The pain is just a sign that God is doing a work on the inside of you that is soon to be revealed. God is looking for a return on our lives. The good work he has begun in us, he will bring to pass. We are all pregnant with something. There are gifts and talents on the inside of us just waiting to be born. When we are in the valley of our despair, no matter how long we have been there, God will step in and use that situation to birth a new anointing in us. There are no limits on mankind except the limits we place on God. What are you pregnant with?
