「The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,

　And a man is valued by what others say of him.」　Amen.

Just as a crucible or furnace is necessary to extract the purest silver or gold, a person is tested by the praise of others in order to enhance his or her essence. When a person is praised by others, his or her true nature is revealed. I believe that we can be praised, humbled, deserved, honest, and have many different attitudes. However, it is more pleasing to receive praise from God than from others.

　May we see the Lord today....　

God bless you.   See you tomorrow.
