But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christs power may rest on me. (1 Corinthians 12:9) Diamonds are beautiful and valuable gemstones, but their beginning is common carbon- black dirty and combustible. Through the years of intense heat and high pressure, they become pure and strong... This makes them a good metaphor for spiritual strength. God uses intense outside forces to rid us of impurities and to perfect His strength in us. Some of us are able to create an illusion of strength and self -sufficiency. But sudden loss of health, employment, or a treasured relationship is a startling reminder of our dependence on God. God uses testing in our lives to rid us of impurity and teach us that our strength is in Him and not in self -sufficiency. His loving purpose is to make us pure and strong. Trust in God and lean not to your own understanding. Have a blessed day.
