Refiner of Gold


Oh Lord, may You use whatever pain or loss or separation or trial or any means necessary, to comform me to Your image. May all dross be cleared away so that my humble life may indeed show the reflection of Your love and grace and joy..... May my life become as gold refined in the crucible that becomes your mirror....and as water, still and quiet, that reflects Your face.....
Posted by PicasaMalachi 3:2-4 (New International Version)
2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, 4 and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years.

Oh, how I'd love for you to be here with me to share autumn in the Appalachians, Jan. I look forward to your retirement so that you and Harry might come some October.....
