Well it would be wonderful if my life would just roll along in a way that would never require me to step outside my comfort zone, or face things that I would rather not face, or be asked to take steps that bristle my flesh nature. But here I am, feeling like I am facing down the throat of the bear and having to trust solely on my Heavenly Father to do in me what I know is impossible on my own. My mind says run, the Holy Spirit says stay. My mind and heart say "build another row of bricks on the wall around me", the Holy Spirit says "let me help you come undone". I can't see exactly where the Lord is taking me but I am feeling hope in knowing that the creator of the universe knows the way and that he will guide my every step. But the hard part is letting go of myself, my agenda, my plans, my angst, and claims on past hurts and lay it all at the feet of Jesus.
Today I feel like I am being asked to walk through the fire but the Lord promises that he will be with me IN the fire and that I will emerge on the other side refined like gold. Will it be worth it? Yes, I believe it will. Will it be painful? Yes, I believe it will. Am I willing? Yes, I am, with all my heart.
