Refiner's Fire

The refining process
Defies common sense
It makes one very tense
And holds the mind in suspense
To go through resistance
At God's own insistence
Against our own persistence
It challenges our existence
To have one's soul refined
Pulled apart then combined
Without reason or rhyme
Despite our screams and whines
But little do we know
That this phase helps us grow
So that God can bestow
His glory in us so
That he can shine through
Revealing what is true
And heal the world too
Refining our hearts anew.
