A refiner knows silver is done by seeing his own reflection in it

Evidence

The leader asked, “How do you know when the silver is fully refined?” The refiner smiled at him and answered, “Oh, that’s easy. It’s done when I see my own image in it!” … Jesus does the same thing with us. He keeps His eyes upon us the entire time we are in the “fire”—the sanctification process—and He knows exactly when we are perfected because He, too, will be able to see His own image in us. — Chuck Missler, The Kingdom, Power and Glory, 1458
