Thanks, Nanette. This is a good explanation of the refining process, as it practically relates to our lives. I often wonder what each part means, and how on earth a certain trial is helpful, when it is so evidently a restricting force on good things. But the process of strengthening our wisdom, meekness/humility, and faith, are so important to our eternal happiness and usefulness. If not for these things, how could we become who we are meant to be? Our world focuses on visible results, but God seems to focus on forming character; developing goodness within us. That is, perhaps, most important to Him – and if our lives look like ‘failures’ to the world, I don’t think it really matters to Him; it is who we are becoming and what we are doing with it. I try to remember this when the unfair and hard things are feel overwhelming.
