“Sensing God's Spirit stirring: ~ ~ ~ ~ “What if I hadn’t waited for you?" And then, with breathless sighs I saw with spiritual eyes, Jesus sitting at His Throne, And ‘saying’ to me, . .’come ~ ~with His Hand, He swept me close And , in His other Hand He showed many jewels His ‘paid’ stones Infinitely valuable made alive, giving Him great delight Each precious ‘stone’ He knew, made up His Bride ~ These jewels in vision? He let me see Valuable . . ~ made palpable ~ ~~ He let me linger to see His jewels flowing through His fingers each jewel flowing back to His Heart His Bride nearly complete, never to part believers ARE jewels, made treasures for the Son oh, how He knows each one ~ ~ and God shall lose none reminding us, He never tarries making ready the Heavenly marriage ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ “They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels." ~ ~ Malachi 3:17 Thanks for that, Donna. While I sometimes feel like a lump of coal due to my sin, I do know what God sees me as a precious jewel. That’s very comforting to me. ^^ A jewel is produced by great pressure and is enhanced by cutting and polishing. It shows its true character when light is shone through it. Zechariah 9:16 16 The Lord their God will save them in that day, 
As the flock of His people.
For they shall be like the [a]jewels of a crown,
Lifted like a banner over His land—
