But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
The journey is difficult. There is nothing easy about it. I mean my journey has been semi hard. But when I hear and think about other people’s testimonies… OH MY DANG!!!!! Sometimes it’s like … why God…? Other times it’s like … oh my dang a lang God! This is ridic! What the heck is your plan?!?…
Either way… it isn’t easy. It’s really hard when you’re like
… okay…this hurts… what’s your answer God?…
….okay God. it still hurts… it’s been a long time… will you please answer me?
…. dude. God. mas rapido por favor. what the heck is going on?!?
But it’s the right road. We’re diamonds being purified. He brings out beauty from the ashes. And makes us as gold purified as these flames. He never said it’d be easy. But we deserve hell. I’d rather keep going on with this… than the alternative… just saying. God gives us a relationship through this all. God is with us through all of this. God is still God. Through ALL of this.
When we can’t hold on anymore, He carries us. He is glorified in our weakness. He gets glory when we fall short.
I don’t want to live a lie. I don’t want to live alone. I want to live Life.
He remembers us. Even when we can’t see Him. Even when we can’t hear His voice. Even when we can’t feel His presence. He’s our anchor. I don’t want to wear masks to hide what I’m feeling. The storms raging in my soul don’t have to be covered up. Because He is glorified in them. We can be us. We can be real. We don’t have to wear a happy mask. We can be honest. We don’t have to act like everything is alright when it so isn’t. I want His Joy.
He takes away our yesterday chains. Our today chains. And any future chains that might entangle us. He purifies us after we walk this really difficult road. He blesses us with Himself. It’s so worth it. So dang worth it.
Yet so dang difficult to walk through these storms. But we ain’t alone. Ever. We are never alone.
I choose difficulty. I choose the pits with the lions on the snowy days. That’s when God works His miracles.
struggle-roaded with joy,
coop
