Two Copper Coins

The Lord asked Dale Price, "Do you love Me?" And Dale answered, "Yes, I love you." Then the Lord said, "Feed My sheep." Dale dedicated his life to keeping all of the Divine appointments that God made for him. The details of his story don't matter. Dale's times of trial only increased his faith; he embraced the Refiner's fire. • When the shadows do come, I want to be found holding His hand. • Walking by faith is truly where we learn that our trust in Christ goes way beyond salvation-it is a trust that places every moment, every day, every fear, and every cell in His infinite care. • As crazy as it may seem, I pray for the heat. Not that I desire a reversal of my present good reports. I just pray for the sense of complete dependency that comes when God turns on His Refiner's fire.
