We often ask God to save us and bring us to Himself. And yet when He tries to purify us through trials, and calls on us to let go of attachments to the world that we may go to Him, we complain and resent it! To ask for sanctification is to ask to be purified by fire--and yet, like the scorched earth, it is then that new life begins with a sweeter taste.
"What return shall I give the Lord for all His goodness to me? I shall take the cup of salvation."--Psalm 116:13,14
