Without meaning to sound sadistic, there is something absolutely beautiful when you are in the fire, knowing you're going through hard times, and can see yourself being refined in the process. When you can look at the issues and know that they don't have a hold on you. There is something freeing knowing that pain has not destroyed you but made you stronger. There is incredible peace that comes when you look at the bitterness you could have chosen and instead see the forgiveness that you gave.
So, fire burn, do your thing. You can only take what is temporary. The best still remains. You're just one more tool in the potter's hand. I see people running away, terrified of the pain, of being burned away. But I'm not going anywhere, I'm here to stay. Fire, burn, do your thing. I'm not afraid of the ashes, I'm not afraid of the smoke. I'm willing to push it away to see the new growth.
As the fire burns in your life, you can choose to try to run...or you can stand your ground, see the beauty for ashes that Christ promises us...and say fire, do your thing.
