The Gem Within
If I was blessed with the distinct pleasure of your company. I mean you and me. Us, cozy on my couch. Hot latte in hand. I am talking our lattes made to perfection. Precise drip, cream and flavor. Cozy blankets and comforting conversation. I would hold a mirror to your face. I would want you to see, know and embrace the gift of you. You are an absolute gift, a rare treasure. You are precious on the inside and out. Life at times keeps us cluttered, confused and careless filled with debris within. I am convinced this flows to what is on the outside. From your mood to your makeup. What is on the inside shows up on the outside. Have you ever been eating less than ideal only to end up with a breakout, or stressed out and broken out (me more often than I like) lacking sleep and sporting bags. Emotional hurt does the same. Wounded and living with fear. Empty and living as though life and opportunity is scarce. I know because I have been there, done that and I made the t shirt copy righted that pain and everything. If we were cozy on my couch with a hot latte, I would want to share my pain to spare you some. I would want to brighten your beauty so you could live in the light. I am here to help you as many have helped me from the inside out.
I may be the first, but trust I will not be the last to tell you, you are a gem. You! Yes you! You are made in the image of the most high God and that means something. Honey that means everything! I understand they hurt you. They left you battered and blue. I know. Honey I have been there too. Lets dust off that debris. Lets lay our pain at the feet of the potter who made this clay. In his hands even our deepest pain could be fuel for purpose. Heal the hurts. Seek the counseling, read the books, trust solid sisterhood and heal. The gem is there. Dust it off. Restore it to its initial or better yet a restored beauty and shine. You are a gem made to shine!
If we were hanging out. I would assure you that through all your traumas, troubles and trials in the midst of this crazy thing called life you are still a gem. If you couldn’t see it clearly I would be your mirror. I would tell you all I see, know and understand about the gem that is you. I would tell you of your dynamic unique gifts. I would applaud your strength and triumph through your scars. I would comfort your pain, pray calming through your fears and lastly I would call you to courage. You are a gem! Let’s dust off the dirt life often leaves behind. Let’s heal the hurts because girl, you were made to shine.
