Dear chrysostom,
Looks like you know what's going on. You are right. We are here to be tested, be refined like silver and polished as well, and be made ready for a heavenly body to live in to replace our spirit's earthly body. We must be tested by whatever the devil might say to us or entice us with, until we can overcome, and be found true, even if it takes a bit of time. None of us can be ready overnight, so it takes some years, for some less than others. I'll be 58 in Oct., chyrs, so it'll be 40 years since the Lord first visited me Himself. It makes me truly realize how long 40 years is and what the Israelis went through in the wilderness of Sinai, and what Jesus did for 40 days without food. I can't go more than 3 days without food. God loves you so dearly and you are on your way to much better things. You will not be sorry for the path you've chosen, chrysostom. Selah!!
God Watch Over You Always,
Michael
