Dead Serious Refining

My sister's friend's house burned down in the recent Texas' fires. The friend and her husband were very wealthy and very godly. Had they not been seasoned saints, the "oddity" of the fact that the house next door was unscathed, could have been more than vexing.

After combing through the ashes, the only things they found were 3 ceramic plates that had these words, "I Love You" on them.

Do you think there was any significance in that? They did. In the midst of the shock and sorrow of it all, they sense that their God is with them. In the midst of the shock and sorrow of it all, they sense they are to rebuild, but this time, a much simpler life.

I am awed by the seriousness with which the "refining fire" goes about accomplishing It's purposes in our lives.
