A simple short sentence changes your life forever and you find yourself walking through the valley of the shadow of death. Sometimes the shadow of death is worse than death. Sometimes we mortgage our future on things that we think are going be, but circumstances beyond our control come in and alter our lives. Our lives change and they change forever. We lose our innocence.
Nothing remains the same.
It's like being carried away to Babylon. Our world changes. In the midst of those circumstances, it takes a long time to find the answers we are looking for. In time we can see all things coming together in a way that our life is changing for good. We will see God raising us up out of the ashes of life as a new person, as a new creation in Christ.
