Response to Proverbs 25:4

Proverbs 25:4 "Take away the dross from silver, and it will go to the silversmith for jewelry."

Day by day You are removing the dross from me
Refining me, burning me, making me pure
As I walk through the fire, You are the One leading me
You are perfect and You have a plan for my life
You have jewlery that You are planning to make out of me
I don't want to resist all that You have for me
Flawless, that is what You are
Without blemish
Looking at you I can barely stand myself
I cannot look at myself for Your beauty is captivating
My heart, soul and mind are enraptured
I want to be wrapped up in Your love
In Your whole Being, Your whole Presence
As I look at You, bit by bit You remove the dross from me
So much like You I want to become
A strange phenomenon:
The more I look at You, the more I am transformed
One day I will be ready
And I can be presented to You as a beautiful piece of jewelry
