Faith As Pure Gold

Bible Discussions Blogs & Poems About Life

Faith becomes like gold when tried in the fire

when you struggle, are afraid, and go against desire

When you struggle to do what's right, even in the midst of pain

you press the tide, walk backwards, and strain against the grain

When gold is tested its purest form emerges through

when you are tested, you go through fire, what's left is the best of you

What you are at the beginning is not what you'll be in the end

Peter said he'd never betray Jesus and that he'd always be his friend

When tested, Peter failed, and cried,

he couldn't believe it, he did what he said he wouldn't, he lied

Jesus told Peter that he was going to betray him,

he said that before the rooster crowed he'd turn his back on him

Peter did fall but without the test where would he be

he wouldn't be his best self, and possibly not with God eternally

Because of the test, Peter's patience grew and grew

even though he failed a few times and forgot what he knew

When your faith is tested, thank God because he's giving you patience forever

to emerge pure and refined

better, better, better than ever
