The Fire

August 2, 2012

Have you ever felt like giving up everything and walking away?  I am sure the answer to this is yes.  Now matter how strong you are, there is always a breaking point.  The thing to remember when this thought crosses your mind, is that you are not alone.  When we cannot carry ourselves, with faith, we are carried.  When it seems like your best just isn't good enough, it is.  With every new day, there is new grace to finish the race that you started.  You are His favorite and He has a plan.  The controversies in your life can sometimes feel like FIRE.  But remember that the hotter the fire, the more pure the gold gets.  You are God's finest and he is refining you for the rest of your journey.  His teachings, though hard to understand, always provide more stamina and wisdom.  The fire is melt you and shape you.  He will allow you to come through it without being burned or even smelling like smoke.  Never quit and surely don't give up.  Your reward is for endurance not speed.  Stand and go through the FIRE for your gold is starting to sparkle.
