The sweet moments of intimacy with Jesus where you know His closeness, and understand that there is nothing in this world better than His love. Those are tender, meaningful times of worship; sweet moments of connection with a deep sense of purpose. You hear Him call your name on that mountaintop knowing that He is pleased with you.<\/p>\n<p>For there is nothing greater than God&#8217;s love.<\/p>\n<p>Mountains or valleys, He doesn&#8217;t differentiate your position.

What a loving Savior He is.<\/p>\n<p>God is the only one who can re-shape your broken, battered self. He is the God who turns mourning to dancing and your shame into glory.
