Are You Tweakable?

You have tested us, O God;
    you have purified us like silver.

Psalm 66:10 

 

Have you ever noticed that the love people give us changes depending on how they feel at the moment, what we have done for them lately, and what they may have heard about us?  Funny how fickle we, as humans, are!  If someone hurts our feelings, we refuse to love them.  If someone breaks our heart, we tend to add them to our list of "Mortal Enemies."  If someone ignores us, we tend to snub them in return.  Honestly, we are idiots!  Yes, I'm part of the Idiots Club too.  

 

But God is not like we are in that His love for us is constant!  Because He loves us, He teaches us through experiences, painful and unpleasant they may be, so that we will be prepared for His plan for us.  God will do what He has to in order to cleanse us of the filth, grime, prejudice, bitterness, dishonesty, and all the other negative attributes we tend to take on ourselves.  

 

God uses the "Trial By Fire" method, just like is used to purify silver.  You see, when silver is pure...you can see your face reflected in it.  So when God can see His face in us...

 

Think about it!
