"The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but The Lord trieth the heart." Proverbs 17:3
Heat makes raw precious metals pure. Being heated to very high temperatures tests and refines silver and gold. Likewise, trials and tribulations make us better people. Our faith is tested and strengthened by the adversity and affliction that we endure.
The things that we go through in life make us stronger. We can be better witnesses for The Lord and have a better testimony after we endure the tests. Whatever He brings us to, He can bring us through. We may not like it while we are in it, but we will be better because of it.
