long time no blog

havnt been here for a while, mainly because internet is screwy at home. Which made me realised how dependent i've become to it, and what can a few days without internet do to me. Its not like i get panic attacks and need it like an addiction, just bugs when i cant check my email promptly especially when i know there are important ones coming in. May be i'm getting too paranoid about my freedom of choice. But i'd rather depend on God for everything than depending on worldly things. Woot
So heard a cool story from Jon. when someone is extracting silver from the impurities, the simple way of knowing when the silver is pure, is when the extractor can see his/her reflection in it. By the same token we are to be refined in the fire of God so that God can see his image in me. God smacked me over the head two days ago with this passage to go along with that story.

Then the word of the LORD came to me: 18 "Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me; all of them are the copper, tin, iron and lead left inside a furnace. They are but the dross of silver. 19 Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'Because you have all become dross, I will gather you into Jerusalem. 20 As men gather silver, copper, iron, lead and tin into a furnace to melt it with a fiery blast, so will I gather you in my anger and my wrath and put you inside the city and melt you. 21 I will gather you and I will blow on you with my fiery wrath, and you will be melted inside her. 22 As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted inside her, and you will know that I the LORD have poured out my wrath upon you.' " Ezekiel 22: 17-22

First when i read this, i was like, man the LORD is tough and he's gonna get rid of Isreal and destroy them. But then when i relate back to this story. I was like...ooooooohhhh shhoooooott.
Refinement by God, with his wrath he will purify Isreal as a nation so that they may NOT be doomed, but be pure and Holy so that they will obey God. Even God's wrath is outta love, shooott, how can God be so loving? It blows my mind. Even when he destroys me, its still for my own good, so that i can glorify his name...dang...wish my God was that cool, oh wait, he is my God, halleluya!!!

Just a little something to brighten up someone's day
