“There’s grace in trusting that where you are today matters for who you will be tomorrow.” Joanna Gaines~Magnolia magazine
Do you dislike where your life is at the moment? The fire you might be walking through, the waterline right at nose level, trials swarming like bees, feet aching from the miles of rocky terrain?
Well, I get it, I understand it, I live on the same planet, fight the same battles. What I have learned from years of walking with Jesus is that the trials, fires, whirlpools, and mountains created the person I am today.
Am I anything special, heavens no! Is God through refining me? Not by a long shot but each trial, each fire that comes along cleans more dross from me, and the more useful I become. Proverbs 25:4 NIV “Remove the dross from the silver, and out comes material for the silversmith.”
I can look back at different stages of me in my life and can see many glorious changes. I can look at myself today and see many more still to come. That’s the beauty tho; I know my Lord is with me till the day of my departing this life or his return, whichever comes first.
He will never leave us dangling. He will never leave us dirty and soiled. He will never leave us. So, relook at your situation or scenario, ask for his strength and guidance as you go through more dross removal, to become material worthy of the silversmith’s use.
Matthew 28:18-20 NIV “ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.”
Some of us don’t have the call to baptize, but we are all called to be an example and to share his word, love, and redemption.
Be blessed today and be a blessing. Thank you for joining me. 🥰
