I saw this on another friends feed this morning.
This really says it all. It’s not about the cancer, the fire, the trial. God doesn’t always pull us out of those fires. He’s not pulling me out of the cancer. He’s telling me that He will be with me, and we will walk through it together.
He’s not standing outside the fire cheering me on. He is in it with me. And there’s the joy. The joy of His constant presence on a level that is unique to me, never before experienced like this. I have experienced it in moments, but not for such a prolonged period. He is with me in the fire.
He is with you in the fire. Take advantage of that promise and press into Him and you will be rewarded with peace and joy that is above and beyond anything you could’ve ever hoped for.
I am a blessed woman.
Round two of chemo next week!
