God's been known to niggle

[Sue Johnson]

In devotions yesterday, one of our staff referred to the condition gold is in when it comes out of the ground. He spoke about the furnace and the refining process....look what the final product looks like!

Boy, I could write another book on all the 'niggles' God had with me and still does ...sometimes

but if I look at the 'me' to day, compared to the 'me' of the past, I would not have it any other way...niggles...bring them on

Yip, it can be quite painful when pruning time comes, and we get so clever trying to avoid, but it is SO true, that our lives are so much more fruitful and better fruits comes from it all.

I went through a time like this two years ago. Phew, was that painful, but the Lord just didn't leave me in the cold to suffer and bleed on my own. He was faithful enough to have a few people that helped me through it with their tough love and encouragement. I cried many, many tears but it was all worth it! Pruning hurts, but love cushions it!!
