Refiner's Fire

It is soooooooooo refreshing to have come back from a bible study on Peace, Patience and Gentleness, step into the house and hear the radio playing this song...

Purify my heart, let me be as gold and precious silver.
Purify my heart,
let me be as gold, pure gold.

(Chorus) Refiner's fire, my
heart's one desire
is to be…holy; set apart for You, Lord.
I choose to be…holy;
set apart for You, my Master, ready to do Your will.

Purify my heart, cleanse me from within
and make me holy.
Purify my heart, cleanse me from my sin, deep within.

I guess it's all timing--God has finally answered me. These days I have been distracted by so many things; there are so any bitterness and impatience in my heart - causing me to just be upset about anything and everything that comes my way. When I had no way of controlling myself and the way I felt, I started blaming other people...

Yet coming out from the discussion, I know I am committing my life yet again to let God shape me in all areas - that I am to practise all these godly traits--even when it is going to be difficult. Not because that will make me feel better about myself but because I fear and love and desire God. Amazingly this makes a lot of difference!!

I know I will fall again--but I pray that God will enable me to see past all my faults and look solely to Him for help. And discipline too!
