Assistant : Diamond Assistant

Who doesn’t want to be a very shiny diamond, admired for its value as well as by its process?
Truthfully, we all want to be that diamond!
But the big question is the following: “Are you aware of the process by which it passes through until it gets to be this precious stone?”
We are like a rough stone, ready to be polished, or not … it all depends on our decision!
The process is painful because it involves passing through several stages and if we are not willing to pass through them, we will never become a precious diamond in the Work of God.
The steps are:
1st) Cut – This process is the one where we need to be radical, against our own “I”, our own wills, “selfishness”. We need to “cut” the evil by the root. I’ll share a simple example: Leaving the friends that do not share the same Spirit, that is, not just those friendships that you once had, but especially those that are beside you, in the same “boat”, but live for themselves.
2nd) Stoning – This phase is the most time consuming because it requires for me to be attentive to my impulses, thoughts, feelings. And unfortunately not everyone is sensitive to this process, because they let themselves be dominated by their human nature. Practical example: When you are reprimanded or called to reason, you quickly have an answer at the tip of your tongue, or within yourself there is a “sea” of complaints and murmurings.
3rd) Grinding – This step is where we must look within ourselves and “grind” our interior, in order to take out all the debris that prevents us from developing with God. Example: Comparing yourself with other assistants; dependent of praises and recognition; etc.
4th) Polishing – This treatment only happens when we have gone through all the steps mentioned above. We are only going to get the “shine” after all this process and it is not for our glory … but the brightness of God’s power in our lives.
I would like for you to think of this whole process and for it not to just stay in your consciousness, but from today on begin to become that diamond … at all costs!
Remember that it is you who decides!
Leave your comment and tell me if you had ever done this type of analysis.

Thank Mrs Frietas…
I am normally that person who does not like stoning part. I am very defensive and always acting on my impulsese because I want t be there already. I forget that being a diamond is a mental process. I get caught up the outside hoping that would make nea diamond. In all in fact it makes me a stone well polished!
So I am going to meditate on this and think of where I am.

In my entire life i missed step 1 and3 of becoming real diamond but now am living a life of fixing every thing right with God before Jesus comes back,instead i want to shine to be admired not the outside look only but what is inside of me for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I’m someone who already has this mentality, to be a diamond I must face this process.. But I’ve never seen it or even thought of it in this way!! I will definitely meditate on this and work on each step. Thank you x

most of us want to become diamond but we do not take note of the effort that must be done.We are not even willing to take the steps to become one. Now I know that I should do this type of evaluation because I’ve never done it before.
Thanks
