The Attic

“A gust of wind fans the flames”

A soft glow of orange erupts into tongues of fire

I remember something that was said long ago, a speaker was
encouraging those who have experienced devastation and
emotional pain. And I have never forgotten his words –
“Even if you have to hold on with your very fingernails,
don’t give up”
Through many sorrows and disappointments I have felt like

the cauldron of flames were about to consume me. The heat
of affliction became too much, as if my mind and body
were ready to explode!

In honor of all those who are opposed
by the enemy, are we not all as “A brand
plucked from the fire?”*

And restored to our rightful place

*Zechariah
