I love Handel’s Messiah I’m trying to listen to it daily through the New Year.  This line has been catching my mind today.

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill made low, the crooked straight, and the rough places plain.

We get ourselves onto paths of inner spirit valley’s where our soul aches from rough roads.  We need someone to help, someone to smooth our future, remove our obstacles and encourage and comfort our hearts.  Who else but Jesus?

By His Spirit He exalts us in our low spots, raises us, promotes our every incidental and intensifies that sense of His loving compassion over and in us.
