All women want to be treasured like diamonds but not all want to go through the process that it takes to create such unimaginable beauty. We want the beauty but we don't want to experience discomfort to achieve it.
When you are under life's pressures ask yourself this; what is God trying to change in me?
This is the question I ask myself every time I'm under life's trials?
And NO, it doesn't make it go away, but it allows me to understand God is trying to shape or change something inside of me.
He is also giving us the opportunity to know Him, trust Him and acknowledge Him!
For to long you might have put God on the back burner. He knows this and wants to change it! He wants a relationship with you. C.S. Lewis wrote:
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but
shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
God is trying to rise you from the grave you've been burying for yourself throughout the years. You are too precious for Him to give up on you.
He is trying to make you stand firm and strong in your trust in Him. Just like a diamond
that is the hardest known natural material, you are achieving resistance and strength through each trial.
Those that are being destroyed through life's pressures are those that
lack a relationship with God.
God himself proclaims this; My people are Being destroyed because they don't know me. Hosea 4:6
whatever you are facing don't give up or give in to anxiety and depression. Make and effort to ask this: Lord what are you trying to change in me?
He will show you and hopefully you will never be the same. You can't be the same because He is shaping you to be the most precious of stones of His creation!
