In life, you are the metal, God is the craftsman, and adversities are the refiner’s fire. It is through the process of refinement that you can reach your full potential.



In addition to worthless impurities being burned away,
smelting(burning) together with a flux can restore that portion of the metal once lost to oxidization
('rusted'), back into it's pure (unrusted/unoxidized) original state,
reversing the damage,
and ensuring nothing of the original starting metal is lost!!

Jesus sure knows His 'metallurgy'!

There shall surely be a day when the Master of metallurgy shall refine the rottenest of sinners. He did it for Saul, and John Bunyan, and countless other rascals, including Rosey.

My friend, much thanks for a wonderful addition to this link.
