In His likeness.....

We are to be completely surrendered, to the point that we are willing to be transformed into His likeness. Are you completely surrendered today? That would mean that you are completely willing to allow His purpose for your life to become your purpose for your life.

In Malachi 3:3, the Bible tells us that He will sit as a refiner of silver, a purifier of silver. Remember the verse, "He is the potter and we are the clay"? Well, it can also be said that we are the silver and He is the refiner.

Now it is important to know a little about the refining process of silver. Silver is held over a fire, and heated up. The refiner HAS to stay with the silver and keep his eye on it, because if the silver is held to the fire for just a moment too long, it will be ruined. The lesson here is, no matter what sort of fire you are going through, He is right there with His eyes on you. The Bible says that He will never leave or forsake us.

Now let's continue, the silver is not at its purest until the refiner can see his image reflecting back at him. So, the lesson is this. Allow Him to complete a great work in you today.
