Purified by Fire → Poem by Lumiere

You can not experience heaven on earth

until you’ve gone through hell.

Remember that God does not put you through the fire

because He dislikes you

but because you need purifying and strengthening.

We go through purging, pain and challenges

to learn and improve our spirit and life style

for how can anyone learn if everything around them

in perfectly soft and cushioned.

So here we are learning at our own pace

living our life, going through our own ups and downs

for when you have God you lack not

and you’re able to achieve despite the odds

for it’s not a matter of luck but blessings from above.

This is your journey so don’t let others misguide you

for it is just you and your relationship to The Creator

you have to pay your own dues so that others can not

take credit and boast for your success.

You have to go through fire just like an unbaked pot of clay

to become strong for the Lord to be able to use you

so that you can resist upheaval in the storms and trials of life.

Yet there’s still grace and mercy that pours divine oil upon our head

to anoint us as we heal and shed that which must be shed.

With God by your side you can face anything that life throws at you.
