Refined by God

I read this statement today and it struck home with real force.

Like Gold -- Daily "Lessons on Living" Christian Devotional: "God is not in the demolition business, but He does run a refinery."

When things go awry, it is easy to think that God has taken his hands off the wheel. The traumas of life can crush the body, but they only crush the spirit if we let them.

As Job says "But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold."

Job 23:10

Do you feel crushed? Somewhere in the darkness, God has a light that He will shine. You may see it in your life, or maybe others will see it when you are gone.

If you need help finding your way out - why not drop me a line.
