God often speaks to me when I am around water it seems.. idk.. the shower, washing dishes, fishing.. even tho I am not a good swimmer and just really don't like boats unless someone insists that I get on one..
So this morning in the shower God starts talking as usual, and he shows me a solitaire diamond in a setting. He begins to explain that all ppl are a treasure, a diamond, but that some are ...put on display. Those are the popular ppl, who have a set of struggles unique to where they have been placed, a treasure in the open that becomes a target for theives and for ppl to fight over.
Other diamonds are put out of view but whose presence allows all things in that circle to function. The example that came to mind is the diamond needle of a record player. How clear and lasting the sound quality remains because of it's presence. Even tho ppl fail to notice it unless they specifically look for it. The attention is taken from it and put upon the music or the performer or the sound it serves to lend it's high quality to. This too comes with a unique set of struggles because of where it has been placed.
Diamonds.. treasure.. ppl.. service..
God lends his beauty to us.. and we are to lend it to others. Whether in view as a source of inspiration or buried in the machine to ensure the highest quality.. drawing others to take notice and come closer to invesitgate the source of such clarity and beauty.
Treasure in the open, vulnerable in ways, with specific struggles...
Or treasure not in view, seemingly forgotten, with its own specific struggles...
"Stop comparing yourselves to one another.. I placed you with wisdom and care and intent.. you shine no matter who sees it or who doesn't.. I see it.. all ppl have worth.. all have purpose.. serve and lend your beauty to others.. that is what it is to be like Christ.
You're beautiful because I made you beautiful.
Nothing can change that or lessen that.
The appearance of things is a small matter."
Be encouraged today and know that you are loved by a heavenly Father. You're the apple of his eye, and he sees you <3
