This week was Spiritual Emphasis week at my school. We had an excellent speaker, who made us realize that talking about spirituality didn't have to be boring. He was the most hilarious guy any of us have ever heard speak, and he used some amazing analogies to make sure we got the picture. The comparison he used that stuck out to me the most is that of God's Refining Fire and a silversmith. He said that our sin is like the imperfections that come to the surface when gold or silver is put in a fire. He said that God wants to do this to us. He puts bad things in our lives so the bad things in us will come out and he can "scrape them off." Once we've dealt with a hardship in our lives, we don't have to deal with it again. God wants to make us pure of imperfections- more like Him.
