I will go through

I'm going through a few things at the moment. Feeling pain, crying tears, trying to make sense of things that totally confuse me. The bible says that the devil is stalking around to see who he can devour and it seems like he's after me, but here's something he needs to know...

I am going through.

I don't care how much it hurts or how long this lasts... I am going through and I am going to be there at the other side stronger, wiser and closer to God.

And here's the bit that will make him tremble. When I have gone through I am going back to help every person that I come across who is going through this too. I am going to be there when someone says that they are confused saying "I know how you feel - now I'll show you how to get through". I'll be there when someone is hurting and thinks that no-one understands saying "I understand because I've been through. So hold on a bit longer...you'll make it." I'll be there when someone thinks that they will never make it saying "Yes you will, I know you will because God brought me through and He will bring you through too."

So I'm not sitting here helpless. Oh no. You see I'm going through and everytime I feel like giving up I'm not going to because I have something called "nevergiveuppidness" which is a cast iron stubbornness that won't give in, no matter how hard it gets, no matter how much faith is attacked. The bible calls that "patience" and along with that is the fruit of "joy". The fruit of joy isn't always singing and dancing and laughter. Sometimes it's just knowing that God is there and that He will get you through and you can know that through tears as well as smiles.
