Journal Entry - 12-20-14

"Lord, You are teaching me to be holy are You not? Lord, You are sanctifying me through this aren't You? 

Yes, I know with all my heart that you are using these small hardships to make me ready for Your kingdom. 

Through fire You refine the rock and in great heat the silver comes out of the flame. Those whom You love You discipline. Your children You test.

Through this time of refining, may You give me joy unspeakable and love unconditional! Through anything - pain or sorrow - let me praise Your holy name!"

Amen

This was a journal entry from almost two years ago. I do not remember the particular bitter trial that made me pray this prayer to my Lord, but it rings true even today.
