Being in the fire is never easy. It is painful, scarring. We ask for the fire but do we really want it? The minute we get it all we ask is for God to get us out. But that's right where He wants us. Burning away the junk that doesn't matter, the junk that hinders us and keeps us fragile. As you stay with it everything is burned away and Jesus is left.
"So I'll stand with my whole desire in the middle of this forest fire til I've nothing left to show and new life begins to grow."
Its not that God wants me to suffer. He loves me without the fire. But He wants me to have the fullness of what He has for me and I stand in the way of that. So I'm pushing through. I'm not running away from the flames. I'm sticking around until God gives me what He has promised. I'm gonna be persistent. No giving up. Ever.
