I have heard it said that when Mercedes Benz makes a car, before putting it on the road for use, they put it through various types of tests to make sure it will perform well.
Job said, "When I am tried I will come forth as pure gold." God wants Gold, not glam.
Something beautiful, yes, but what is crafted for the long haul and can stay the course, not just adorned or gifted with a few flesh pleasing extras.
"I counsel you to purchase (it will cost you something) from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy.." Rev. 3:18
It will cost us all that we are for all that he is.
"What is to give light must endure burning."
