We are all a ‘Diamond in the Rough’ waiting to be discovered! As heir’s of a Heavenly King we have the sparkle and strength of a diamond. The worth and potential of each of us might lay hidden for a time as we go through this mortal life.
God has allowed us experiences to refine and purify us and eventually find our greatness and divine worth! It can be a long and difficult process for some. The same is true with the creation of a real diamond. There are extreme temperatures and pressures over a long period of time to create a single diamond!
So how does one find that ‘diamond in the rough’ with all of it’s beauty and strength? I personally believe that it is simple….. Be Kind, Do Good, Serve Others….no matter the circumstances in your life. At first it may be hard as you push to do those things, but as you keep going it will have a domino effect… knocking down those false beliefs you have about yourself and little by little letting the sparkle and shine begin to show through.
“A diamond in the rough is a diamond sure enough, and before it ever sparkled it was made of diamond stuff. But someone had to find it or it never would be found, and someone had to grind it or it never would be ground.
But when it’s found, and when it’s ground, and when it’s burnished bright, That diamond everlastingly will give out it’s light.” Author unknown
