Though the fire and water tried to overtake me, I have come out to a place of great abundance. I know that the fires of refinement, although hard, dark, and difficult, brought me to a better and richer place in God.

About This Quote

It’s quite disheartening when we make a mistake and we feel like we’ve lost something. We feel like we can’t get back to where we were. But, in the Bible it says: “Though the fire and water tried to overtake me, I have come out to a place of great abundance. I know that the fires of refinement, although hard, dark, and difficult, brought me to a better and richer place in God.” The fires that try to overtake us are just that: they try to overtake us. They can be hard and difficult, but they lead us to a better place in God.
