The everyday life of a young Christian

WHEN THE MOUNTAIN BECOMES TOO TALL





After waiting for nine months, hoping I’d carry my own child. After shopping for baby clothes, preparing the room. When the time came, there was no child.  I had a still birth. I couldn’t come out of the house. I didn’t want to face the world. I felt rejected and unloved. Everything around reminds me of what could have been.

It is very difficult to find a reason to be cheerful when your joy has been taken from you. For the family that had a still birth, it was one of the most difficult moments they have ever encountered.

The Bible encouraged us to count it as joy when faced with trials, never to give in to hate or question the will of God concerning our life. Job confessed, “even though he slays me, I will praise Him”. Job’s words were that of a man that believed God has a reason for every action.


When you are down, lift up your eyes to the heavens… because that’s where your help will come from. A song writer wrote, “Even when it hurts like hell, I’ll praise you”.

Praise God even when all hope is lost.
