Refining is defined as the process of removing impurities and of purification.
When you begin to let God refine you, it's gonna burn. It's going to hurt and it is just plainly going to suck. It's going to be no where close to easy.
Burning all of you to be like Him and molding you into who He made you to be is going to be hard, to say the least.
Refining gold consists of recovering gold to its pure state so that the end product is free from impurities that may impair the quality. Substances are removed and the gold is burned in a furnace. It is a complicated and difficult process, but the end product is rewarding and worth it.
When God begins to refine us, it starts with getting rid of all the "stuff" that are not meant to be with us (i.e. sinful habits, unforgiveness, pride, etc). Depending upon our cooperation and our willingness to just surrender, the process can take forever. Then, we are burned by His Presence and molded and shaped into who he created us to be.
We are forever changed by this process and although it is tough, it is well worth it!
