In time, as I continued to move forward, I came to realize something. I realized that the fires that I have been through, the flames that had at one time left scars, that I had someone there with me the whole time. I made it through the smoke, the fires, the things that satan put in my way to try and destroy me. The things he did to try to keep me from getting where God was wanting me to be. What the enemy did not see, was there was another in the fire standing next to me, helping me through it all. He had other plans for me, plans for me to come to know Him in a mighty way.
I walk in victory each day; that does not mean I will not feel the heat, the flames the enemy will throw at me as I continue my walk with God. It means when he tries, I have something to fight the flames with, a fire extinguisher, a force, a power behind me that can put out any fire the enemy puts in my way. Yes, like many, I have been through much, been through fires, been through the flames but I am still here. The fires, what satan meant to use destroy me, all it did was make me stronger! For I know who I am, I AM A CHILD OF GOD!!! I am covered by His mercy, forgiven by His grace, and chosen by His love. I have victory every day, victory over the enemy because I will never give in, never give up! I have no desire to please man, I want to please God! I want to be one who hears the words, well done my good and faithful child, not, go away from me I never knew you!
"When you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you." (Isaiah 43:2).
"Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation]." (Isaiah 41:10).
