UNTIL HE SEES HIS IMAGE
There was a group of women in a Bible Study on the
book of Malachi. As they were studying chapter three,
they
came across verse three, which says: "He will sit as a
refiner and purifier of silver. "This verse puzzled
the women
and they wondered what this statement meant about the
character and nature of God.

One of the women offered to find out the process
of refining silver and get back to the group at their
next
Bible Study.
That week, this woman called up a silversmith and
made an appointment to watch him at work.

She didn't mention anything about the reason for
her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of
refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he
held a piece of
silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained
that in
refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the
middle of the
fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all
the impurities.

The woman thought about God holding us in such a
hot spot then she thought again about the verse, that
"He
sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked
the
silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in
front of the 
fire
the whole time the silver was being refined. The man
answered that
yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver,
but he had to
keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in
the fire.
If the silver was left a moment too long in the
flames, it would be
destroyed.

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked
the silversmith, how do you know when the silver is
fully refined? He smiled at her and answered, "Oh,
that's easy -
when I see my image in it."

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire,
remember that
God has His eye on you and will keep watching you
until He sees His image in you.
