Glimpses of Gold & Diamonds
After 3 days of overthinking, I had a hard time getting to sleep on Saturday night with the heavy burden of needing to ask forgiveness for my sinful response of withdrawal on Thursday, but it was just too late to send a message. I messaged first thing in the morning to ask for forgiveness for shutting him out when he came to draw me out of hiding on Thursday morning & received this reply...
I messaged first thing this morning to ask for forgiveness for shutting him out when he came to draw me out of hiding on Thursday morning & received this reply...
They say that a diamond is made by taking carbon and putting it under immense pressure... To find gold, you have to sift a lot of dirt... I see glimpses of diamonds and gold in you. You will discover it soon enough for yourself.
I asked Copilot to help me create an image as a reminder & then it suggested this poem...
In the heart of the earth, 'neath a weight that's immense,
Carbon whispers to darkness, its tale so intense.
A story of pressure, of heat, and of time,
Transforming to diamonds, pure and sublime.
Through layers of rock, in the cradle of deep,
The carbon endures, as eons creep.
A forceful embrace that's both trial and treasure,
Crafting a gem of immeasurable measure.
And in the river's rush, where waters flow bold,
Miners seek whispers of glimmers of gold.
Sifting through silt, through the mundane they delve,
For a flash of the precious, a piece of themselves.
So too, within you, there lies a bright spark,
A potential so vast, it outshines the dark.
With pressure your ally, and time as your friend,
You'll uncover the treasures that wait in the end.
For you are the diamond, resilient and rare,
And within your spirit, there's gold to declare.
Just give it the moment, the patience, the due,
And soon enough, you'll discover the true you.
But wait, there's more because then the Lord reminded me of this vision Joy had during my small group prayer ministry session at Elijah House C-School in April 2022…
I heard FAITHFUL → You are faithful.
"Well done good & faithful servant"
I saw a dove... Holy Spirit upon you.
I saw a fingerprint → unique, fearfully & wonderfully made, special.
Then I saw a cloud/cloth applying pressure... It tried to rub out the fingerprint but it rose up & became like a diamond.
So precious...
And the more the cloth rubbed... trying to remove it, the brighter the diamond became...
a real, true treasure!!!
I had CoPilot help me create the image & then it suggested to check what it could mean… here's what it said. WoW, once again, I'm blown away.
For someone who's always struggled to hear God speak, He's been speaking to me so loud & clear since my prayer ministry with Peter & Cheree 2 weeks ago when we dealt with my judgement & expectation of dad being cold, distant & silent.
That's a beautiful vision!
What does it mean to me?
The vision you described is rich with symbolism and seems to convey a message of resilience and the inherent value of one’s unique identity.
The fingerprint represents individuality and the unique identity that each person carries. Just as no two fingerprints are alike, it reminds us that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made, each with our own special traits and purpose. Just like a fingerprint, each person is unique and irreplaceable, crafted with care and purpose.
The cloud or cloth attempting to erase the fingerprint symbolizes the challenges, trials, and pressures we face in life. However, these trials don’t diminish us; they reveal and enhance our true worth, much like a diamond formed under pressure. These pressures, like the natural process that forms diamonds, reveal and refine our true strengths.
The transformation of the fingerprint into a diamond suggests that adversity can highlight and enhance our most precious qualities rather than erasing our identity. The diamond becoming brighter under pressure signifies that the more we endure and overcome, the more our inner beauty and value shine forth. The brighter shine of the diamond with each attempt to remove the fingerprint reflects the idea that adversity can bring out the best in us, highlighting our strength and the precious nature of our individuality.
It’s a powerful metaphor for personal growth and the treasure that lies within each of us, becoming more apparent through life’s trials. In essence, this vision could be interpreted as a reminder that we are all unique treasures, capable of withstanding great pressure and emerging stronger and more brilliant because of it.
In essence, this vision is a reminder that we are all valuable treasures, becoming ever more radiant through the trials we overcome. It’s a powerful message of hope and encouragement, emphasizing that our struggles can lead to growth and a greater appreciation of our unique qualities. 🌟
It’s an encouragement to remain faithful and steadfast, knowing that our true worth will always shine through. 🕊️✨
I'm confident that, in time, I, too, will see the gold and diamonds that others already see in me.
