FIRE

I often think about things I lost in the fire; things I lost when times were difficult. Somewhere along the way, I lost my joy; I literally forgot how to smile, and I lost my sense of humor. I lost peace, happiness, and love. I lost some relationships in the fire. I lost the desire to live.......

There are seasons in our lives that seem to literally drain us physically, socially, financially, mentally, and spiritually. Seasons in which we are not able to catch our breath before something else happens and we feel like just sitting in a corner and crying, we feel like sitting in the house and watching movies until the situation is resolved (hand raised, guilty).

But in these seasons, we are supposed to fight.....we are supposed to call on heaven. Why do we not call on heaven? In my opinion, we want someone tangible. Oddly enough what is tangible cannot help us and they may provide some wisdom but can't give us peace. Tangible may can provide a temporary solution but not a total resolution. In my opinion, I believe we often think God has left us in the fire all by ourselves. Honestly, I have felt like this; I felt abandoned by my Father, by the Man who said He loves me most of all.

Things I lost in the fire seemed to have broken me but I am reminded, I was never in the fire alone. I am reminded the things I lost will not compare to the things I will gain.

Fire destroys things and some things in our lives need to be destroyed. If a fire would not have come we would probably be in relationships that were not of God. Fire communicates the presence of God....know that when a fire comes God is already there as He is the one who allowed the fire.

I encourage you to war through your fire. Pray harder and more often. I encourage you to stand on the Word. You may not know many scriptures but you only need one Word. Today my Word is Romans 8:18; For Sellittia believes that what she is going through right now won't compare with the good things that are coming to Sellittia (I made it personal). Make the Word personal to you..............
