This morning I listened to a song that said we are God’s diamonds. That we are beautiful and precious. A diamond is so lovely (don’t you agree ladies). But how does it get that way? Through a tough process of shaping and cutting.
Wouldn’t it be nice if life could just be simple? If everything could just work out the way we want it to? Like the Afrikaans saying goes “maanskyn en rose”. Can’t we all just be ready shaped diamonds from the word go? It doesn’t quite work that way now does it?
How will we be shaped into what we are and should be without the trials, the “rough” times? God never wants bad things to happen to us. He has planned so many amazing things for our futures. Like Jeremiah 29:11 reads - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
We all go through bad times like these and no one person’s troubles are greater than the others’. We all just experience things in different ways and need to work through it in which-ever manner works best for us.
Right now you might feel like a diamond in the rough but rest assured knowing that God has so much in store for us. Just take it one day at a time, step by step. You will get there. A precious diamond.
