It's a Good Journey by Jennifer Shannon

Be assured that your heavenly Father traverses every step of your life with you!  Here is a timely and encouraging word from Blazing Fire's own Jennifer Shannon, a mega-dose of truth to keep you aligned with heaven's reality: As the Lord says, we will rise, awaken to love’s truth. The perfect peace will flow like a river, gracefully yet powerfully from His throne room. The waterfall of mercy immerses us gleefully as we, daughters and sons of God take a step forward in our journey. Every step He leads us is a step toward maturity in Him.    Those dark nights where many have cried out in pain, sorrow, and fear. Your voice, He did hear and reached out with His hand to be the lifter of your head, the restorer of your heart, spirit and soul. In so doing He has washed it all away with the blood He shed.   The mountain climb strengthens you and enables you to climb higher. The feet become nimble like hinds’ feet as you jump from ledge to ledge trusting Him to catch you lest you fall. The joy you see on His face, the laughter that bellows forth is the heart of a Father cheering you on and the voice you hear says” You can do this! I am with you always, never will I leave you all alone!”   The hand of a potter is He, molding and making you the beautiful creation that you are. Lovely in His eyes to behold His glory within only to be poured out with such divine purpose to touch all those you encounter and pass by.    How the enemy wants to destroy, yet the Lord of Love overcomes and protects you within the depths of His heart. This is the overflow of the heart of a Savior and Friend that meets you in that secret place and holds your heart for you to see. Some parts may be hidden yet being brought to light so that you can let Him who paid the cost set it free.    The journey that is taken, it often is a wild ride with twists and turns and surprises along the way. Yet the inner healing that bursts forth is like a caterpillar into a butterfly, from that hidden place to the open skies emerging into truth and disposing the lie.   That yoke, so burdensome and heavy, carried alone may hold you back and slow you down from accomplishing what your heart dreams of and what His purpose is for your life! Let Him help you along the way and let Him carry what is not yours.    When you find your identity and who you truly are; the lies that the enemy of God may try to spew will begin to fall to the ground and dry up like worms baking in the sun during the heat of the day.   The truth of who you are is not found in what you do but in who He says you are. Finding your place, finding where you belong and knowing that you're loved is a victory in itself. You will find your true freedom by dwelling in His peace, embracing His presence and believing in who He really is!
