May God Thy Gold Refine

I recall one of my favorite books in elementary school, "The Westing Game." My first murder mystery. And one line sticks out more than others, although as I recall it had more lines from the hymn "America, the Beautiful." That line is "May God thy gold refine."

It occurred to me this morning, while playing this hymn in sacrament meeting, that we, His covenant people, are the gold to be refined. Okay, so I may be a little slow on the uptake... I am almost 40. A small yet important truth reveales to me that the scriptures are true, and I felt my Heavenly Father's love as I learned that truth.
