A man once went to a silversmith and saw him place a piece of silver in the fire. As the silver was in the fire, the fire refined it. The parts that were useless fell off and only that which was useful remained. The man asked the silversmith how do you know when to take the silver out of the fire? The silversmith said that is easy when I see my reflection in it. Wow. When God sees His reflection in us He can put us on display. It is not until He can see Himself that we can be taken out of the fire. When we yield to the process God can mold us and shape us into His image and Then our lives can be used to bring Him Glory. Don't fight the fire for it is there to draw you closer to God. God bless you.
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. Zechariah 13:9
