Refining Silver

Was reading on Psalm 12 when I came across the verse which says:

" The words of the Lord is flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay,  purified seven times." Psalm 12:6 (NIV)

I've heard about how refined gold or silver is the purest of pure, and that is how pure God is. Came across an excerpt today, which brought my understanding to a whole new level.

It's really beautiful to know how much God loves us and wants to make us into his image. 

From the website, the author said that many of us have been through "fire". Its through this fire - our trials and tribulations - that our rough edges were smoothened and sharped edges sluffed off, until we closely resemble what we are suppose to be. God allows us to go through hard times so that we may grow and become smooth and shiny. So that, not only does He see us becoming a reflection of Him but others can also see Him in us. 

A really beautiful explanation. Learning something new everyday. 


I choose to be Holy, set apart for You Lord, ready to do your will.
