God loves us too much to leave us the way we are.

“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
    and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
    and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”  [Heb. 12:5,6]

If our ways don’t line up with His, guess who has to change?

Malachi states that the processing is that we may offer an offering in righteousness … that the aroma of our life would be pleasing to the Lord.  Our God is a refining fire.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, we do want to be like You.  Give us grace to endure Your dealings.  We trust You and the process You put us through.

DAILY READING:  Is. 63-6
