"Being shaped is never easy. Becoming gold is never as easy or as quick as I would like it to be. Have you ever felt that way? Whether it’s a job that is slowly wearing you down or a relationship that feels tangled or a dream that is dying on the vine as you work somewhere to pay the bills, life is not always easy. And to be honest, there are days when I want to yell, “Where are you God? I catch no glimpse of you!”
But the truth for me and the truth for you, is that he is at work.
Even if we do not see him. Even if we catch no glimpse of him. Even if the testing weighs heavy, he is in motion. He is unchanging. He is relentless with his grace and mercy and love.
He knows the way we take.
And he will bring us forth as gold."
I think Jon Acuff with his Serious Wednesday post, is reading my journals and knows exactly what's going on in my mind. Again, here he goes addressing what's been ruminating around in my mind.
Go read his new post, here!
