Refiners Fire

I received this from my Dad last night – I was impressed enough by it to pass it along.

“I heard a cool story from one of my colleagues at the temple today (Dad is an ordinance worker in the Manti Temple). As background, you need to read Malachi 3:2-3

2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.

and Moroni 7:48

48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.

A group of sisters were in a study group when they ran across Malachi 3:3. They wondered what the process is to refine silver. One of them was delegated to go to a silversmith to find out. He went over the refining process detailing how the silver was separated from the ore and all of the impurities were removed from the molten silver.

She had one question: How can you tell when the silver has had all of the impurities removed? The answer: I can see my image in the silver.

Think about it. - Love, Dad”

I’ve thought about whose image I see, and whose it is that I want to see...

Your turn if you so choose
