WOYWW: The Most Priceless Jewel!

 

"Streams in the Desert", compiled by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

is one of my favorite books.

My mom has lots of stories 

about how it is so relevant for the person

reading the meditation for a particular day.

So much so that a friend called it a "magic book"!

Once, my mom was praying about the problematic skin

of my younger sister, and when she opened 

the Streams in the Desert,

it had instructions on using aloe vera!!!

 

On the left of my desk,

I have a pile of paints.

I usually like pastels and so most of the colors

here are light colors.

 

Today I read in Streams in the Desert about 

a magnificent diamond found in an African mine.

The King of England sent it to Amsterdam to be cut 

by an expert lapidary.

After several weeks of drawing and planning,

the lapidary, made a notch in it, 

and struck a blow with an instrument.

He did the one thing that

 would make the diamond radiant. 

"So sometimes God lets a stinging blow

fall upon your life.

The blow seems an appalling mistake.

But it is not, because you are the most

priceless jewel in the world to God!

And He is the most skilled lapidary

in the universe!"

 

 Just like St. Stephen (Acts 7:56) and Nathanael (John 1:51),

we too can see the heavens open when we pray.

God loves us so much

that He does not want to withhold any good thing from us!

Every week I choose one wonderful visitor

who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

I know it takes so much time and effort

to leave a comment

and I appreciate it soooo much!
