FAITH AS BY FIRE...

FAITH AS BY FIRE ...

Sometimes my heart 
screams out with such
agony and pain..
The world around
is like I'm surrounded
with deadly flames..

The heat from its 
flames are more 
than I can bare..
I gasp in what little 
air that the fire 
and flames share ..

Oxygen is taken by
the life of the lapping 
violent fire that 
surrounds me..
It has become 
furious, fierce, 
as it envelopes, 
I cannot breath..

With only moments 
to spare..
I reach out to 
the one Who is 
forever continually 
there ..

The searing, once 
life threatening all 
consuming fire, is 
but embers ..
The once billowing 
black clouds have 
Surrendered..

He has calmed 
the raging flames..
He has released 
the once captured 
soul from my 
shame..

Once again I'm 
reminded who stills
the fires of fear and
uncertainty ..
The encompassing 
torment I hold deep 
within me..

He has extinguished 
the anguish that stifles
the life I cherish..
He releases the rain
to comfort, and gives me
courage, I shall
not parish..

Praise Him,  the creator
and the giver of life..
He brings joy where 
Once there was strife..

These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold--though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
1Peter 1:7
