James 1 tells us “consider it all joy when you go through various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must have it’s complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.” When we go through difficult times we’re being tried in the fire like silver or gold being purified. The heat turns up, the imperfections of the metal rises to the top and are cleaned off. The hotter the fire the purer the metal. When the metals shines and gives off of reflection. Then the Lord can begin to see His reflection in you. Have Your Own Way, Lord! Make us more like Jesus!
