In the Midst of That Hell

When it is taking life rather than giving, when it is strife rather than peace,
When it is fear rather than trust, we question the dream,
His discernment will stand in the midst of that hell,
What was all meant for bad will be turned around,
In the middle of that heartache, God's love and truth is revealed,
We need to know there is a real enemy that attacks and steals,
That saps out the goodness, and tries to mix it with ugly,
This is the red flag, this is the warning,
Fight the good fight, stand your ground,
God will show you in the midst of that hell.

temptation is everywhere....in the heart, it is even there....the devil attacks us when weakness is strong....but we will make it if we understand God Is With us all along....;)
