All of us make mistakes. Sometimes we can confess our errors to the one or ones we have wronged and ask forgiveness. Other times the best we can do is turn remorse into fuel to do better. As we hold up to the light all that we are and all that we do, Godโs love keeps integrating us. The warmth of that love is a refining fire.

Me: โI am being pounded like the last piece of red meat!โ God: โSo What?โ Me: โSo then I will need to stay put and let my bumps even out as the great butcher continues to flatten my curves and edges, all the way till I become stiller, simpler and way harder to break!โ
Walking With God, QUOTUS
Refining Strength
*This is a poem I wrote a few years ago but realized I hadn't actually published it anywhere to share with people. It's helped me, so I hope it can mean something to someone else too*
The greatest granite mountains Were born in fiery glow Before they could stand high above, They were magma down below
The richest, most pure piece of gold Was once too hot to touch But was molded, cooled and guided And now is worth so much
The tallest tree grown in the woods Did not get there with ease, Nor was the softest sandy beach Made without the pounding seas
Those greatest throughout history Bore trials, griefs, and pains For nothing made without them e'er Outlast the storming rains
So now take peace, my Dear Loved One When through your life you tire Just push along, you'll be made strong As you face refining fire.
I used to sing a song whose lyrics ask God to purify my heart like gold through His refining fire. Itโs easy to sing songs like that when you have not yet faced โrefining fire.โ Furthermore, I did not appreciate the intensity of the process from the perspective of the gold being heated to temperatures...
The Heart-Knower
It is a gray and bitter wind abroad, and full of pins and daggers crystalline. My heart is warm: I have a house within; is hot: the hearth flames higher while I plod. But is it hot with anger? It is flawed, but wrath tends not always to break, or sin - is bitterness? is fear? these wear more thin; is it not well, nor happy with its God? He sees, and knows: He better knows than I. His Word can cut to such a depth, and more. His Spirit blows wherever yet He will. And this is good; He lights my smoky eye, will slay what needs be slain, will scrape and score, the more with His refining fire to fill. 11/17/2015 Sonnet Index

When Fire Cleanses
Learning to Let God Burn Away What Cannot Remain DID YOU KNOW Did you know that God sometimes uses destruction as a pathway to purification? When we read Numbers 19:1โ4, the imagery can feel unsettling: a flawless red heifer, without defect, is not simply sacrificedโit is completely burned. โThe heifer will be burned in his sight; its skin, its meat, and its bloodโฆ will burn.โ This is not theโฆ

Judgment, Mourning, and Hope
Thru the Bible in a Year Scripture: Zechariah 11โ14 Today we close the book of Zechariah, and what a sweeping vision it leaves us with. These final chapters are filled with both sorrow and triumphโjudgment for rebellion, protection for Godโs people, purification for a remnant, and glorious prospects of a coming King. As we read through Zechariah 11โ14, we hear Godโs heartbeat for His people, Hisโฆ
