Diamonds: Yes, we want the things that bling!
Pressure: No, we don’t want the pain that getting the thing may cause!
The Lesson: Pressure makes diamonds; persistence makes a Crown of Glory (1 Peter 5:1-4)
Action: If you want what a thing makes, you have to go through what a thing takes!
Question: Do you want the one that is perishable or the one which is eternal?
DIAMOND ME, LORD, DIAMOND ME, THAT I MIGHT BE WORTH TO WEAR THE CROWN OF GLORY!
