"Malachi 3:3 "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."
This verse puzzled some women in Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.
As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy - when I see my image in it."
If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you."
and my greatest wish is for you to be happy. Know that you have a friend here who sincerely care abt you.
in all struggles, turn to God k,
if not you can always talk to me... maybe i am too sensitive, but i sense that you are not really happy. But my prayers is with you always. He is our father, our very present help in time of need. Jesus wore the crown of thorne to give us his peace. he was shame with nothing to wear in order to give us the dignity that we should have as the children of God.
I have fall cos i relay too much on my own strength or the lack of it.. he humble me beyond words and make me grateful for every little blessing that he have showered me. i am nothing without him, and if he can give me so much, can't i give him more. I know in his hand, he hold our past, present and future. Now i am ready to let his rule my life..
If GOD is with me, why am i sad?
Matthew 5:12
Be glad and supremely joyful, for your reward in heaven is great!
Matthew 5:6
SEEING THE crowds, He went up on the mountain; and when He was seated, His disciples came to Him...
"Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied"
Romans 8:32
What then shall we say to all this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
hokkien gospel song, dun really understand but just sound so peaceful
