Through the Fire!

So many times I've questioned certain circumstances and things I could not understand.And many times in trials weakness blurs my vision that's when my frustration gets so out of hand. It's then I am reminded I've never been forsaken never had to stand one test alone, that's when I look at all the victory's and the spirit rises up in me and it's through the fire my weakness is made strong....



Oh he never promised that the cross would not get heavy and the hill would not be hard to climb. He never offered our victory's without fighting but he said help would always come in time. So just remember when your standing in the valley of decisionand the advisary says give in.. just hold on OUR LORD will SHOW UP and HE WILL take you through the fire again...

I know within myself that I would surly perish but if I trust the mighty hand of GOD he'll shield the flames AGAIN! (repeat chorus)

Wow what a powerful song... such a blessing.. but really read the words.. It's true.. He never gave scripture that gave us the promise life was going to be easy or our battles light.. but what I have found in my Bible is the promise HE would carry me through those times... How much do I let HIM? Not as often as I should but I am learning. There are soooo many things I do not understand and I question... and just when I feel my frustration is out of hand and I will LOOSE IT.. HE is so faithful to sweep down over me and calm my spirit and start to GENTLY put his arms around me and just be the FRIEND that I need.. I look at Him as a friend because if I say FATHER there is something that just stiffens and wants to turn and run the other way.. THAT is what I am trying so desperately to change and work through.. I told Steve tonight I REFUSE to give up and give in.. GOD has done SOOOOO MUCH for us and I KNOW HE will and can take care of what is going on right now... Everyone has an opinion about everything now days but ya know when it all comes down to it and all the hoopla is over and the little gossip ring and judgmental glances are gone and it is just YOU and GOD... THAT is when it is REAL... strip all the crutches away all the excuses and see yourself and life for what it really is.. WOW what an eye opener.. its hard I know but if I did it more I just wonder how much further up the road I would be spiritually speaking than I am right this very moment. How many of us are willing to be RAW and willing to let others see our hurts, our failures, our regrets, our mistakes and still say BUT BY GOD'S GRACE I will NOT turn back.. I AM a new creation through JESUS CHRIST MY LORD... ALLLLL things are passed away and ALLL things are now new... How many of us are willing to LET that person change and take the chance that yes they could hurt you again but they might not.. what matters is LOVING THEM TO JESUS... hmm i am not sure.. but I do know this.. I WANT TO.. I want to be able to look at someone who has hurt me and hug them and say I LOVE YOU... despite the pain despite the drama.. but reach out with the arms of JESUS AND SAY I LOVE YOU!!!!!
