Shine Brightly

Shine Brightly

When you mine gold from the earth, you have to clear all the dirt away from the rock to even recognize that what you have is something precious. Otherwise you would be tempted to see that chunk of rock as just another useless clump of dirt to be thrown away. So it is with you, my child. You may feel that the world just looks at you as a dirty, worthless rock, however, know that I see the gold that is within.
So let me remove every trace of dirt away from you, and let me refine you so that people not only recognise the gold within, but that you also shine brightly as a testimony to others. Know that it is not in how others treat you, but it is in how I see you that gives you your worth. How I have created you is exactly how I want you to be, just I have created the flowers and the sky and everything else on this earth. So come to Me and let me uncover and show to you and the rest of the world the beauty of what I have made, you! Amen.
