Today we talk about how God refines us through the fire.

When we look up the definition of it, it says:
To remove impurities or unwanted elements from
Spiritually: To become pure or perfected

The refining process is painful!  It's uncomfortable and generally it's something no one wants to go through.  Many times in scripture, those who were in the midst of the refining process praised God in the affliction and fire.  When is the last time you praised God in the middle of your pain?  It's in these times that He refines and makes us new.

God makes new wine out of us.  It's through the pressing and the crushing that God is able to purify us.  

Ask God what is the lesson He is trying to teach you through the refining process instead of rushing Him to remove you from the refining process.  Jesus went through suffering here on earth and it wasn't fair that He felt that pain but He did it for you and for us.  

When we are uncomfortable, we go to the Comforter!
