Day 34 "You Are Purity"
Refiner’s Fire
Good Morning Beauties!
Have you heard the term, "Refiner's fire"? For Christians, it refers to God using difficult circumstances in our life (the fire) to refine us like gold...pure gold. The process of requires intense heat to remove the impurities. Do you know this process? Take time to journal what you've learned from seasons of "heat" in your life.
This “testing by fire” is not about earning salvation or cleansing sin that Christ’s blood has already washed away. Rather, it’s about refining what is already true. Think of it as proving the genuineness of our faith and removing impurities that hinder our fellowship with God. Just as gold is refined to reveal its true worth, trials reveal the reality and strength of our trust in God.
Let me encourage you with Truth. God will not abandon you to the flames. He is right there beside you, praying for you, rooting you on to victory. He wants you to win! "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you." 1 Peter 5:10
The purification process isn't easy, in fact it's difficult. God asks us to die to ourselves so He can increase. Die to pride, bitterness, selfishness, and the list goes on. Filling up with His love, grace, mercy, kindness, peace, joy....then we will be the vessels He can use mightily in the world. What do you need to burn today in order to make room for more of Him? Selah.
Love and Blessings,

“In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.”
