❌This isn’t what you think.
.
I’m gonna share a few insights about ? DIAMONDS that God recently brought to my attention.
.
I’m sure you’ve heard / known that diamonds are formed under pressure. But did you know that they’re also formed in the ? DARKEST place on earth (the very molten core) before they become one of the BRIGHTEST objects on earth?
.
Darkness ➡️ into ➡️ light – it’s a theme running throughout the Bible, and diamonds are such a beautiful example of this.
.
The more they’re cut ? (aka “pruned”), the more they sparkle and reflect light through them.
.
The more they reflect light, the more their value increases ☝ (i.e. the more you share from victory about your time in darkness, the more you’re impacting others and pointing them to God)
.
? God will bring you OUT of that darkness, not even smelling like smoke (or sulfur). In Daniel 3:27, we see that God brought those men out of the furnace, not even smelling of smoke ? They were supposed to burn to ashes, but instead, God rescued them, and they were walking miracles.
.
YOU, too, are a walking miracle ✨
.
Don’t let this current season of pressure (or pruning) knock you down. See it as a refining process, and don’t hide ?
.
? Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16)
.
? And if nothing else motivates you except crushing Satan, then remember this: he is defeated by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony! (Revelation 12:11)
.
Shine on, Diamond. Shine on!
