None of us want to be tried by Fire. We don’t want to experience the pain of the cleansing but it is necessary. We cannot become who we are meant to be in Christ without going through the fire.
When we go through the refining He removes all the junk from our life. Many times that is a painful process because our flesh likes to hold on to the junk. We get comfortable with sin. We get comfortable with the unforgiveness, we allow compromise to run free in our hearts and lives. So many times we never get past hurt that has happened and we stay stuck never growing .
God is coming back for a bride who is holy. A bride that allows Him to refine them. Every Christian at some point will go through the fire. God promised that there would be victory on the other side.
However a lot of times we let the fire knock us out of the race. Trials are not meant to break or destroy you; they are meant to help you grow.
Whatever you are facing just know your Father loves you. He is fighting for you.
Remember that when silver and gold are put through the fire they come out shining and pure. Allow God to get the junk out of your heart today. Make room for God to dwell in your heart.
Malachi 3:3 – “And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.”
Zechariah 13:9 – 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.
