The purpose of the fire is never to consume, but rather refine.  And when we don't trust the God behind our stories with the broken, painful pieces of our lives, we will in fact be consumed by the fire and instead of looking, sounding and smelling like Jesus, we will look like and sound like and smell like we've been in the fire.  But when we choose to trust God, and acknowledge that He is not only powerful enough to save us, BUT EVEN IF He doesn't, we are not only refined by the fire but others come to see and acknowledge that God is the only God worthy to be praised and worshipped.
