The Roots of Faith Grow Deep in Dark Valleys

I shared this thought yesterday in service. And while I hate it, it is certainly true. The roots of faith do grow deep in dark valleys. After church Kathy told me that the reason they grow deep in the valley is because that's where all of the "fertilizer" is. She was so right. Unfortunately it seems as if we need our hands forced to have faith in God. And the fertilizer of life pushes us to grow. For when it pills up we come to grips that it is too much for us to deal with alone. Which provides us an opportunity to turn to God.
