From Pressure to Passion

The Lord knows exactly how to squeeze you through a hole that you don't fit in. He likes to do that actually. We call it refining. It is a much cleaner sounding term than what it feels like.

Sometimes, the Lord allows all kinds of external pressures to cause you to move into a certain direction--or come to a certain conclusion. His leadership is like know other--it is perfect.

We are so fortunate to have a Good Shepherd who knows exactly the right amount of pressure to add--not to much, not too little. The end result is eternal diamonds--things that will not pass away forever. His fire burns everything that is not eternal & purifies the eternal things.

God allows the pressure that pushes us into our eternal destiny as sons & daughters. It creates such a passion for Jesus in us that will never be crushed. Thank You for Your leadership, Jesus.
