Have you ever seen a real uncut, unpolished and rough around the edges diamond? A diamond is one God’s most expensive gemstones. The diamond is the hardest natural mineral known to man. It can withstand the greatest amount of heat at 7362 F. It takes a special diamond cutter or laser to cut a diamond. The perfect diamond is flawless and without blemishes.
With this comparison, I look at myself, this is me. I am God’s uncut, unpolished and rough around the edges diamond. I am strong-willed and determined. I am one of God’s diamonds in the making, with many flaws and plenty blemishes.
God has allowed me to go through many rough times. There were times when my situation felt like I was in the middle of the frying pan. These are the times when God has held me closer to protect me from the hot flames. God has had to use his special kind of love on me, only known to come from God just cut me.
Celebrating my 54th year I truly understand how God has continued to polish me, cut me and shape me into becoming the person that I am today. I am so glad to be celebrating my 54th year with all my flaws and blemishes. I still have my bad days when I am just not feeling it. But that is okay, because God is making me into his perfect diamond – flaws and all. And remember God always wins.
This is the verse that I always lean on, whenever the fire gets too hot.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
As long as I know God got this and his son, my savior Jesus Christ is watching over me, I am safe.
Be Blessed and Happy Resurrection Day!!!
