This morning when I went to take dog Coco outside for her morning outdoor time. I was standing there and suddenly smelled the most beautiful scent.

I couldn’t imagine where it came from because all of the flowers are dead this time of year and all at once as I waited on Coco, the aroma came again and I thought to myself….”It smells like Lily’s!”

Then suddenly I realized the Lord’s presence had shown up as I was singing to Him this morning.

He spoke and said “Yes, it is me. remember , I AM the Lily of the Valley….”

I heard the Lord then say….

“Many of you are going through deep valleys right now but, I will draw near to you as the days grow dark.

There is no valley too deep or pit too dark, that I will not be sweeter to you in, if you will just praise Me in that place, and I will draw nearer to you there than I have been when you were on the mountain top!

Yes, I will be sweeter in that place when there is no other sweet thing to find.”
