The Furnace of Suffering
The Furnace of Suffering
By Danny C. Wash“...I have refined you in the furnace of suffering.” Isaiah 48:10
The furnace of suffering is a time and place of pain.
It is through experiences in our life of loss and gain
in those portions of our soul that are in need of refining
by the furnace of suffering to make us ready for the shining
and beautiful image of our Lord Jesus to come & replace
those areas of sin and selfishness with His beautiful face
and cause us to yield those burned clear areas to His grace.
Our human soul by itself cannot be made better or improved.
It can only have the sinful areas daily and steadily removed
and replaced by faith in Christ’s life in a union with our soul
as the Holy Spirit works by transforming us daily to be made whole
in Christ & Him in us so His life can be manifested in us as the goal.
