Gold Must Be Purified

"When He has tested me, I will come forth as gold!" Job 23:10

"The Lord puts all of His people into His furnace! Some are long in melting and refining — and with others the work is quick. But long or short, the Lord will keep His people in the fire — until they are purified! A genuine Christian loses nothing in the furnace, but his dross. He comes forth bettered, purified, refined. He is more humble, his faith is more simple, and his life more spiritual. He shines like molten gold, and reflects the image of the great Refiner."

"He will sit as a Refiner and Purifier of silver; He will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver." Malachi 3:3-James Smith

So true, and just like the trials situation it all rebuke and scorn should lead only to a mote pure life and walk with God. Hope this finds you where you need it...
With love,
Jesse
