Yes, life is a process. To God, process isn't a means to an end; it is the goal. Whatever sends us running to Him, makes us embrace Him, causes us to depend on Him, is the best good in our lives.
The road to glory is difficult with its rock and boulders, its strain and struggle. Things aren't always as easy as we would like. Surprises and pitfalls wait for us along the road of life. We're going to sweat and sway, we're going to wonder why things are the way they are.
Everyone wants to enjoy God's best, but few are eager to be pursued by His refining fire. Always remember that when the refining fire of God comes into your life, He is in charge of the flame. He will never let the fire go completely out, but neither will He let it destroy you. He never allows more to come on us than what we can bear.
Resisting the refining fire of God will not keep it from burning in our lives, it only makes it harder to endure.
Every road has an end; every mountain has its peak. If we can just hold on and keep climbing, knowing that God is aware of how we're straining, He will bring us up over the mountains. It is comforting to know God is in control of every part of our journey to glory, even over the steep mountains.
For His Glory,
Dalinda
