"I am meant to be a pure reflection of the truth
So above it all I pray that I will not obscure the view"

There is a process for metal being refined, it is essentially this: the metal is heated so much so that it melts, impurities are skimmed off the top, and the process is repeated until the metal is so pure that the metal worker sees his own reflection.
My hope and in fact my prayer is that I am cooperative with God (the metal worker in our analogy) so that when the heat is on, I'm separating myself from the impurities of selfishness and self-interest to be, truly, pure in heart so that I can love and serve freely, reflecting Christ.
And yes, it's tough enough I need divine intervention if it's to happen!
