Refined for a Purpose

[college4christ81]

I stand in the fire being shapped and molded.

I am the gold, I am the sliver being refined. Impurity burns away but I feel pain as it does.

I feel the master Potter, the skilled one take me in his hands and form me.

I feel the Master the one who made me burn away impuritys, it hurts, it stings. I yell out in pain for relief but the master continues his job.

I sit in the fire being made for my purpose, being refined to rightousness, it hurts and I feel pain but I'm being made for my purpose.

Then one day will come when I am pure gold and I will shine for no dirt or oil can corrupt me for I was refined for a purpose and the master had his hand in my purifying.

This reminds me of Job 23:10 that says something to the affect that God knows the way that I take and when I am tried I will come forth as gold. I love that! And I like your poem/prose. It helps to endure trials with patience when we realize that in the end we will be "new and improved." It seems when God asks us to make a sacrifice He comes along behind and blesses us with gobs more blessings than we ever expected. Thanks for sharing this.

I have to agree with mamabear4, we, like Job, need to just hold on. When we do, we will come out shining in His light. Good stuff!
