For You, O God, tested us; You refined us like silver.

Psalm 66:10

the Lord spoke to me yet again.
when i was a miry clay,
unsure of where i was.
unsure of who i am..

He lifted my head and said gently,
i'm monitoring the process,
you're not alone, son.
you're not alone.

when i was feeling despair,
i flipped my QT material.
and there,
i found assurance and love.

these words will stay wif me,
through dis very very trying period.
and i'm confident and assured,
that i am not alone.

and He said,

"as silver is refined by fire,
the heart is often refined
in the furnace of sadness.
painful, but won't destroy us.

the Refiner seats by the furnace,
tempering with the flame.
He will not allow us to be tried beyond our endurance,
but it is for our own good.

we may not understand why
we hafta endure all these misery day after day.
the ordeal seems endless and pointless.
but God is doing what matters - we're being refined.

He is placing us into a crucible,
in which we acquire PATIENCE,
meekness, humility and compassion
that our soul naturally lacks.

so don't be afraid, and don't fret.
your present trial,
as painful as it may be,
has been screened thru God's wisdom and love.

the Refiner sits beside the crucible,
tempering the flames,
monitoring the process,
waiting patiently until His face is mirrored in the surface."

thank You, Lord.
thank You.
