God Refines Us Through Suffering

July 19, 2019 by Kristi 2 Comments

God refines us through suffering…and we often think “big” at the mention. Martyrs. Missionaries. Losing something large for the cause of Christ. But sometimes it’s not in the eye-popping, “wow” things, but rather the littles and every day situations where God refines us in His righteous ways.

You Might Like This

The blog’s still on break until late August (or maybe early September–no concrete decision yet!), but I’m guest posting over at Lyli Dunbar’s place.

(Have you read about Lyli’s super powers yet?)

Here’s a special link to the guest piece at her site. It centers on a stellar opportunity for you and me. On the other end, encouragement waits.

Grab it and run the race well, friend–read the piece then walk away, offering those every day parts for His refining glory.

Enjoy & Be Refined

Enjoy as you read how God refines us through suffering. (Don’t gulp too hard. You might be surprised!)

And during this break, don’t forget to peruse the Free Christian Resources page as well as the Subscriber Library for faith-building printables, fiction and nonfiction book lists, and graphics to keep you encouraged or to share with a college student heading off for the first time

Happy July, and glory to God!
