Beloved, do not be surprised, as of a strange thing which arrives to you, of the furnace which is in the middle of you to test you. You delight, on the contrary, share which you have with the sufferings of Christ, so that you are also in the joy and joy when its glory appears.” 1 Pierre 4.12-13 You are perhaps in a terrible test, or you have just crossed it. It seems to you so terrible. And you have the feeling that you will not leave there unscathed. You are very dazed, you do not know more very well where you are… And your relation with God perhaps even took a blow of it! A few years ago, a fireman had told us that to kill a Frelon, it had to be attracted towards a flame so that it burns the wings. Indeed, in the countryside, this insect, whether it is Asian or not, is very dangerous. One needs patience to succeed in trapping it but that functions. I tried out it many times with relief. Today you feel perhaps a little like this insect, the burned wings, completely immobilized, with you interrogeret to question God of the kind: “Why…? Why the death of this expensive friend…? Why my dismissal….?” It is for you like the hour of truth, the test of your faith. The Word tells us that it is more “invaluable that gold” (1 Pierre 1.7). I have a good news for you: the Lord is not a malicious Master who attracts you in the furnace you “to burn the wings and to stop your flight definitively”. Of course, it could have avoided you this test and you do not understand why it allowed it. But it did not finish any with you. With you as with me, he says today: “Do you know how much I love you? What do you choose? Want you to continue to cry your small wings or agree you to walk with me in a new way: with the large wings of my Holy Spirit?”
