It seemed rather poignant to come across this bold assertion painted on a rock in a shadowy, damp little valley on the edge of Shipley Glen. Leaving aside the dubious wisdom of defacing a rock, even with such 'good news', it seemed to me quite a metaphor, especially seeing the bright sunshine up ahead. It brought to mind Psalm 23: 'Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me..' Having been through one of life's little spells of anxious times recently, I know how much the sense of God's love can help us through those valleys. Whether we're in the shadow or the sunshine today, we can rejoice and be comforted by the sure knowledge that God is with us.
Linked once again to Spiritual Sundays.
Hi Jenny - beautiful photo .. but pity about the defacement. I understand your thoughts ... I hope all will quiet down and fully recover .. all the best Hilary
ReplyDeleteA very curious find as you say Jenny, it looks like someone chose that spot to have an epiphany :) I hope all is well with you, take care.
ReplyDeleteI don't like graffiti either...but this is so beautiful...I wish it were temporary...a captured glimpse of God's never ending love.
ReplyDeleteA good message for someone that needed it, I hope! And perfect for your Spriritual Sundays!
