Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1: 2-4
How incredible is the sight of beautiful diamond glistening in the light. The process from discovery to diamond ring requires a skilled craftsman cutting away parts of the diamond so that the ultimate design is revealed to reflect light in a special way. The Light of the world wants to shine through you but it requires the chipping away of imperfections so the facets of your life reflect His light in amazing ways. The chipping away is the process of overcoming tough times in life so be certain your life is in the Creator’s hands. When you’re there, you can confidently grow through the challenging times knowing that you are becoming the complete creation that you were designed to be. Don’t be frustrated by trials, they can be stumbling blocks for those who feel sorry for themselves or stepping stones for those who realize that each trial brings them closer to becoming the jewel that glistens in His light.
