IMPRISONED FOR THE GOSPEL

I am constantly amazed, when I think of those people that God uses who have been in difficult situations, or how many circumstances He takes through a long process before He's finished with them! I think about how "Amazing Grace" was truly amazing for Fanny Crosby, after having penned those words when she was blind! Or perhaps, for John Bunyan to have written "Pilgrim's Progress" while in prison! Then, there's the fact, that God takes 6,000 pounds of pressure on a piece of coal to turn it into a diamond,(and we complain about pressure!) while the first golf ball was created completely round, but traveled way too fast, so small dents were placed into it before the game of Golf could be created! (Even golf had to be under pressure before it could begin!)
God's higher purposes for us, may sometimes take us onto bumpy roads, but never fear, for He is holding onto us and will never, ever let us go. We just have to keep holding onto His hand and trusting in Him, even when the way isn't clear! "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."
And He will!
