Oh, how God looks for hearts that will submit to the testing—hearts He can purge and make after His own. The Psalmist said, “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow” (Psalm 51:7). Often the on-going pain is because purging is a process.
This purging process will take the rest of your life. Some will begin the process and then concede that the sacrifice is too great and compel the Savior to look else where for a willing heart. But others will long to remain the Children of the Living God enduring the purging of ungratefulness through poverty, of complaining through pain, and of pride through humility.
Will He find your heart? Can He keep your heart?
