ly comprehend. But because of it, my heart overflows with gratitude toward Him and compassion toward all working out their salvation with reverence and humility. My purpose is to share God's heart, not my own opinions. What I write here is derived from scripture, as God applies it to my life, sieved through its trials and tribulations. Through God's refining process I glean bits of gold and silver, nuggets of hard learned wisdom and I share them here. I don't claim to have perfectly learned any of these lessons but the Father is continually perfecting me by them. If I can offer you any wisdom and equip you with any advantage in your walk and if I can encourage you and strengthen you in any way, in order to nurture your relationship with the Lord, I will consider it a victory and an honor. My goal is to not only share insights God has imparted to me through study, prayer, and wrestling with my own faith, but to create and share resources meant to help you know and understand Him better. I don't want to just share testimonial and proverbial articles, but materials designed to put more tools in your toolbox for personal bible study. We don't get to know the Father by other's testimony or proverbs, as helpful as they may be, but by our own seeking Him, and spending time with Him in prayer, worship, and studying His word. Therefore, FORGED is a place designed to distribute quality materials for the forge of your heart, to offer purifying flux of hard learned wisdom for your soul, and to help prepare the quench tank of your mind, in order to receive what God has for you. God Himself will provide the fire for the forge, the oil for the tank, and the talented hand for renewing and refining you. You only need bring a humble and willing heart. "I will bring [them] through the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, 'They are My people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.'" Zechariah 13:9
