Set 1 - Day 21 - Parable of the Diamond

Day 21 (Front)

Parable of the Diamond

Have you ever felt like crud?  Seriously, have you ever felt that you were so encrusted with the soot of the world that you could no longer see the world clearly anymore?  Well, that’s most of us.  We go about our lives, we gather all these “snowflakes” of good and bad which just gather around us and coat us with so much crap that we don’t even feel real anymore.  God understands this.  He understands that inside all that crud is His Light.  God longs to chip away all that worldly influence so that you can let his light shine. 

Day 21 (Back)

(Rosemary*)   Jesus told me demons aren’t placed on you by God, they are placed on there by man; that there were demons around men and the only way to stay away from the demons was to trust in the Father and trust in the Father’s love to surround, to surround us all.  He gave us a simple parable.  He compared us to the salt of the earth, but he also compared us to a piece of coal and a stone.  He said, “Look at the stone.  Look at the crystal, the crystal and the stone –  a diamond.”  He compared us to a diamond and he said the coal is around the diamond and the spirit is inside, and when this coal can fall off then the diamond can show, but if we take the pressure and the love of the unconditional love that is carried within that of the Christ, we will then become Christed one day and this love will just “poof” remove the coal to reveal the diamond so that we feel like the diamond and we shine like the diamond and we are the diamond.
