My children, I hear many asking for forgiveness, I see many turning from sin. You have been told the time is short and get your house in order. You have been refined. You have suffered through many trials and tribulations, for the time that is upon you. In the furnace of affliction, I make a finished work in you. Testing your heart, preparing you for what comes next. Many have lost their way and have gone to the wide path. The enemy has planted his own seeds and they have grown along with you distracting you from your purpose. Look about because strife and discord they attack the righteous without cause and try to confuse you, so you become weary and lose your way. Put your trust in Me and be patient. Do not give up. You are My loyal and faithful servant. I am coming to bring you home.
Isaiah 48:10
"Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."
