"Love is the only gold." – Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Becket.
Rightly quoted! Gold, to be gold, goes through fire to purge all impurities and only then comes out as gold.
I thank God that in the making process of Gold, we don't die even though it feels like death, but Jesus is faithful in seeing His image in us and putting his signet ring (signet ring: a sign of embrace and authority as a child of God) in helping us BE what he has called us to Be.
