Trial and Tribulations?

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
For I am the LORD your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place."

- Isaiah 43:2-3

Meditate, and let God into your presence. How great is our God.

stupid heroes, i read that and all i see is claire talking about how she walked through fire and didn't get burned.

but yeah. i like fire. it does cool things. like purify things. you go through fire, you get purified. it also makes things stronger (if you are a metal.. its annealing) in the sense you are not as brittle, though the resistance to forces may be lower (letting God shape your life). theres also the fun part about burning. in this verse it talks about not getting burned, meaning not leaving scars. when we go through trials, God helps us through by not allowing us to get scarred from what happens.

i really like fire ^^
