The Hell that I lived through has defined me just as much as the Heaven from which I came.
God raised me up, and the torment of Hell has become my Refiner’s Fire.
Psalm 139:7-12
Where can I go to escape Your Spirit?
Where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to the heavens, You are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle by the farthest sea,
even there Your hand will guide me;
Your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me,
and the light become night around me”—
even the darkness is not dark to You,
but the night shines like the day,
for darkness is as light to You.
Job 23:10
Yet He knows the way I have taken;
when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
Zechariah 13:9
This third I will bring through the fire;
I will refine them like silver and test them like gold.
They will call on My name, and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘They are My people,’
and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’
1 Peter 1:6-7
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
