A Diamond In The Rough

When you really stop and think about what that means, it's amazing. A beautiful, unique, one of a kind gem- jewel-DIAMOND-in the rough of a mine. Catching the sparkle, the shine, the clarity in the middle of darkness-in the middle of ugliness. Something so fragile, and worth so much. Something so precious. Something that definitely brings a smile to our faces.

This is how God sees us when He finds us. Each and everyone of us, just like diamonds, are unique in their own way. There may be millions of diamonds ( I recently heard they aren't as rare as people say), and there may be millions of people, but each one of us is set a part for our individual qualities, appearance, and purpose. Just as some diamonds are made into necklaces, some earrings, while others serve as engagement rings.
Both equally as important and special. Both were diamonds in the rough.

We are this way to God-so cherished and sought after. Like miners in a diamond mine, God seeks, and longs to be with us!

Don't get caught up in comparing your life or yourself to anyone else. God made you, you. And He made me, me. For a specific reason and for my own unique beauty. We aren't all the same, and God doesn't want it that way. Take time to look at the neat qualities God gave you, and see how you can use them for Him. N0ones life is any better than the next. Even something as beautiful as a diamond has flaws.

Don't doubt for one day that you are less than you are. If the mighty King created you, you HAVE to be special! Beauty is created by God- not society, so don't get hung up on how you should dress or how you are suppose to look.

The bible says we are more precious than rubies! I say, we are more precious than diamonds.
God is holding onto us like diamonds in the rough. That's how loved we are. Each one of us.
