"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23
My Heavenly Daddy is healing me from the inside out.
Transparency is Real. Many times painful.
Daddy let me be secure in You only!

FURNACE
God uses the furnace to loose the bondage's on us.
JBR I remember reading a story that goes something like this. A woman asked the silver smith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered yes. He had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left even a moment longer than expected in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman then asked how does one know when the silver is fully refined?" The man replied when he could see his reflection in the silver. God knows when we're ready if his reflection comes up in your silver. God Bless.
Thanks for the amazing reminder that God loves us so much that He isn't willing to let us be anything but who He made us to be. I also love your reply 'onthewaynow':)

WHEN THINGS GET HOT, THIS IS THE BEST TIME THAT GOD CAN DO HIS WORK IN AND THROUGH US. HE NEEDS A LIVE WIRE. IF WE'RE WILLING.

ReplyDeleteSomeone has said that He refines us as silver in the fire until He sees His reflection in us. Painful? Very! But He's always close to the fire.
