Translation: Stay Strong My Child

We only get temper when we fight.
Our life is a battlefield, because, every day, we fight a hand-to-hand struggle with sin. It’s the testing we’ve been through. If we fight and win, we get tempered like the sweet steel that passes through the fire. If we yield to sin, we will always be soft and brittle steel that resists nothing because it is not tempered. We only get tempered when we fight and dominate sin in our own flesh. In other words, it is through this wonderful decision to dominate and overcome sin every day, that we become tempered.

God bless you!
