One needs to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames are the hottest as to burn away all the impurities. His eyes never leave the precious metal and knows it is refined & finished when He can see His own image in it....May He see His image in me.

I Know He Can

"For I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." --Jeremiah 29:11

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." --Proverbs 19:21

Okay, sometimes I really don't like what I get out of scripture. It's not what I want to hear because it doesn't always fit into my plans. But when it comes down to it...He knows best. These two verses were given to me today and I love what they give me. I am reassured in my heart of what my head already knows. His wants the best for me and His plan for my life will happen. I do not need to worry about a thing.

Easier said than done. I go into the doctor to find out if the 'beast' is back in 1 1/2 hours. Saying things out loud is very theraputic. We've all heard of the 'little engine that could'. Well, I'm the little servant that can...."I know He can, I know He can, I know He can".
