Daniel 11:35 “Some of those who have insight will fall, in
order to refine, purge and make them pure until the end time; because it is
still to come at the appointed time.” (NASB)
2 Corinthians 7:9 “I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful,
but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made
sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in
anything through us.” (NASB)
Hello,
This last weekend I used a pressure washer to clean off the
deck. It was interesting to watch what it took to clean that deck. If the wood
had feelings, it would have hurt! The higher the pressure, the cleaner the wood
– but that means more pain. Sometimes, I had to switch directions and go
against the grain….not natural and also painful for the wood. But in the end –
it looked much better! Sometimes God allows the painful into our lives to get
rid of the junk that has built up on us. Sometimes the build up is strong and
deep enough that the pressure has to be turned way up, or things have to get
flipped around on us (go against the grain). While the process may not be fun –
the end result is amazing. We have the opportunity to be what God has created
and designed us to be –now isn’t that worth the pressure?
Have a blessed day,
