Surviving the Fire

I feel like I have been walking in the fire these last few months. And let me tell you, it is no more easy than it is uncomfortable. God is using this time to refine me and I am so thankful that He is always working on my life. I am reminded of Shadrac, Meshac, and Aben-dego. They chose to be in the fire and that is where they were closest to God. He was walking in there midst! How great to know that we don't have to walk through the fire on our own. God is right there desiring to walk alongside of us. These promises are easier said than done, because the fire is still able to burn. But just be encouraged to surrender constantly to your personal Savior Jesus Christ. He went through much harder times and He did it all for us. Praise the Lord for saving us from the real fire! So be encouraged, and I will be too, to know that Christ is with us, He is the one who bears the scars, and He loves us more than we know.
