refined by the fire
Life can be hard sometimes (there, I said it). Life can even seem unfair at times, but what if I were to offer you a new perspective? What if I were to tell you that every hardship you're enduring, every feeling of fear or uncertainty is being used to literally push you into your purpose. It can feel like we're being burned at times, but I'm here to tell you that the greatest of God's soldiers are "refined by the fire."

"For we know that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose." - Romans 8:28
Simply put, sometimes seeing is believing, and although we cannot physically see God, He will take us through painful refining seasons that allow us to see His work. He'll allow us to struggle and flounder in our own strength until we realize that He's the one that we need. He'll even allow to be tested and tempted. just so we can experience the restorative and transformative power that comes only from His hand. The refining process doesn't always make sense to us in the moment, but after the dust settles, we'll be better sons and daughters of God.
