When I put something on my wallpaper, most of the time it’s a sign—my heart is longing for that moment. What I saw, felt, and sensed.
I remember exactly how I felt.
I felt, loved.
I was childlike, running freely, savoring every second.
I really wished I could stay there forever.
Then, as I was resting on the couch after work, I looked at my screen and kept staring at it,
Psalm 23:4 came to my heart:
“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.”
Context:
This place was hidden between valleys.
Hard. Dangerous trail. Unknown.
It took extra effort to reach, but it was 100% worth it.

Most times, we thought of valley of the shadow of death, as our scariest, most uncomfortable and difficult times in our life.
However as I began to sink more into this thought, I realized—when you’re truly rested in His love and know whose you are, the valley of death is just a matter of perspective.
If you walk alone, the valley looks like a graveyard—dark, cold, lifeless.
But when you walk with God, the valley of death becomes the valley of life.
Because God is life. There is no death in Him — hopeful.
Look at how I was gazing at that wave.
Waves are often seen as threats, obstacles, chaos.
But remember when Jesus silenced the storm? The winds died, the waves calmed.
This is how you walk through the valley with Him—not with faith mixed with a slight of fear here and there, but with the confidence of knowing who He is. Confidence and Fearless.
Will the process be easy? Probably not.
But not because God is withholding anything—rather, it’s about unlearning, softening your heart, understanding how you were created, and discovering the depths of His love.
Therefore, humility and vulnerability always the best attitude.
This revelation caught me off guard.
No wonder this photo feels like Hope.
Ahh… thanks, Pa. ❤️🩵
