Purify Me Lord


As I am going through a season with God of being purified and being molded to be more like Him....I find myself being reminded of the natural process of purification. I think about how gold doesn't start off shiny and perfect...and that it takes much heat and detailed purifying to become so beautiful! Without the heat the imperfections can not come to the surface to be removed....it takes intense heat to separate the
imperfections from the true treasure of gold!

So as I am being faced with things that God wants to remove in my life and things that I must grow in....I think to myself....that even though it is painful and even though God is heating me up to separate the imperfections in my life from the good that he has already crafted within me....it is so worth it to know that with each pain and each humbling from God....I am beginning to look more like my Father. And I am coming to a place that God is able to receive more Glory because of it!

Thank you Father that you are making me more like you...not for myself...but all for your glory and for your Kingdom!

AMEN

I love it how God makes us perfectly righteous before him "by this we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." Heb. 10:10 Yet he still calls us to continue living in that righteousness daily, continually walking in purity before him, and through this God's "power is perfected in weakness, most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me." 2 Co. 12:9.

Lynnsy, God's power is so evident in your life because you openly allow him to pinpoint the things in your life that need purifying. You are an awesome woman of God and a huge encouragement to all who know you!
