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.

Romans 5:3-5

I have so much I want to share. But tonight, I am tired, hurting & feeling defeated. So I am simply going to read these verses over and over again. Allowing them to soak into the deepest parts of my heart, mind & soul. Soon I will come and share my broken heart. For now, I share this:

"More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." - Romans 5:3-5
