"But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold."
Some pastor... I think it was a guest pastor at Shady Grove ages ago... that talked about the hardships we go through in this way. He likened it to a smith making a wrench. He had to put it in the fire and hammer it, over and over again. But when he was done, he could see his reflection in the wrench.
It is the same when God puts us through hardships. He hammers us and refines us until we reflect our maker. If you're in the middle of a rough time - know at the end that you will reflect God more than ever.
