My child, when you come to serve the Lord,
prepare yourself for testing.
Accept whatever befalls you,
and in times of humiliation be patient.
For gold is tested in the fire,
and those found acceptable, in the furnace of humiliation.
Trust in him, and he will help you;
make your ways straight, and hope in him.
and in times of humiliation be patient.
For gold is tested in the fire,
and those found acceptable, in the furnace of humiliation.
Trust in him, and he will help you;
make your ways straight, and hope in him.
---- mine,
I the Lord your God have taken you by the hand and I AM leading you. Set aside your own wisdom for all human wisdom is folly and worthless. Seek the wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit for God's ways are not your ways neither are God's thoughts anything like yours. Those whom God loves He tests. The faithful are not called to a life of ease and comfort rather a constant thorn is given to them to keep them humble. Weak-minded creatures like yourself easily return to old ways of self-indulgence when things go well but if your heart is set on being My disciple and you have committed your life to Me then prepare to be thrust deep into the fiery furnace of humiliation so you can be purified, strengthened, and capable of authentic and lasting discipleship. You are called to be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. This is no easy task and impossible for you to attain on your own but with Me nothing is impossible. Trust Me and yield to Me completely. Have faith and lean on Me.
