Diamonds are some of the most precious stones on the planet. The are hidden in lumps of earth that are not much to look at. As pressure increases so does the brilliance and beauty. As we look at times in our lives of pressures and friction know that God wants to make us all the more brilliant and beautiful. Just like the lumps of earth that are not much to look at, we are lumps of clay that aren't much to work with. Christ in His infinite love chose to work with us and mold us into something beautiful. The bad things that happen shape us and as Romans 8:28 says that in all things God works for us and works it for our good. Just as diamonds are hidden so to are we as Christians often hidden by circumstance and our brilliance dulled by the dirt of sin. God uses it all for our good. God's love is bigger than my imagination and his concern for me is far beyond what I deserve.
