He's still working on me!

That song flies through my head constantly. I am reminded that I have not made it home just yet and that there are things about me that he is working on. It's like the silver-smith refining the silver, he knows that the place that purifies the silver best in in the hottest part of the fire. He knows the exact moment when the silver must be pulled out to make it shine brightest. The Lord works in this way too. Sometimes when I think the fire is too hot....he knows better and keeps me there until I WILL SHINE MY BRIGHTEST! Blessings.... Lisa
