Coming Out Pure Gold

Whatever you are going through, you will go through it, and it will be worked out for your good. The trials of life are a springboard into your divine destiny. If you haven’t gone through any fiery storms of life, hold on—you will. It is during those times of challenges in life that we grow closer to knowing Jesus Christ intimately. Intimacy is God’s desire for the bride of Christ, to burn with a holy fire of desire for Him. Such an intimacy is built upon a relationship with the foundation securely and deeply rooted in the type of love that comes only from going through the trials of life and allowing God to refine us in His refiner’s fire. More awareness about the value of adversity in our personal and professional growth comes from a firsthand understanding of and a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no one else to take your place as you individually develop a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ as His beloved bride—now and in the afterlife. We need not wait for His return; we must prepare ourselves now as the glorious church, without spot or blemish. It is a beautiful mystery how the fiery love of Jesus Christ changes the old into the new. A Job experience would surely awaken us to the gold within to build and restore us in every area of our lives. Every crisis includes the three D’s: dilemma, debate, and deliverance. Success and failure both come from within oneself (the inner man of the Holy Spirit Himself dwelling in our innermost being and personality provides guidance for us to choose success), and the cycle may be repeated continuously until we learn how to respond to the divine perspective of God. Failure is the secret to success if we learn from the experience and grow intimately with Jesus Christ.
