Hey everyone. I’m Sherry Douglas with Heart-Song. Whether it’s the loss of a job, a frightening health issue, or some other significant life event, we have all experienced difficult situations or long periods of time when nothing seems to be going the way we hoped. It feels like our life is falling apart! It feels like we’re walking through fire. We all take walks through these kinds of fires, facing trials and challenges. We yearn for refreshment and to breathe normally again. But, let’s not only SURVIVE walking through the fire, let’s THRIVE in it.

Life is not easy, but let’s use these situations to shape and reshape who we are. When we come out on the other side, let’s be like the pot that has been fired in a kiln and comes out gorgeous – rich in color and shining brightly. When the heat is cranked up; when we’re in the depths of despair, whether it’s personal pain or pain for our nation, we can also be thankful. While walking through fire, we can keep our eyes and hearts upon the good that can emerge. For goodness is present – we only have to look for it. 1 Chronicles 16:34 says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” The good and love of the Lord is all around us. Let’s open our eyes and hearts and truly look for how we can be a part of it. This is the Word of the Lord. Live the way you want to be remembered!

See you next week.
