I have just read this lovely article. "But the most precious diamond, we’re told, is the Koh-i-Noor, now part of the British Crown Jewels collection. Experts say this gem cannot be valued — it’s calculated to be approximately 3.5 times the wealth of the whole world!" Just think about it. You are, to God, worth trillions of times more than this Koh-i-Noor diamond which is highly esteemed by this world and it's worth would have to be in the hundreds of trillions of dollars. "These diamonds are incredibly valuable to us. But to God, diamonds just aren’t that precious. Nor are other costly stones, or even gold. After all, in heaven He uses gold for paving streets, pearls for gates instead of wrought iron (Revelation 21:21) and gems to decorate the foundations of the heavenly city (Revelation 21:19). But you? Now, that’s another matter. God has formed many diamonds. But He made only one you. You are unique. You are unlike anyone else who has ever lived or ever will live. He made you because He wants someone exactly like you. He has plans for you. You may be feeling pretty worthless right now, beaten down. Life has probably thrown more at you than you can handle. You don’t feel worth as much as a rhinestone, let alone a diamond. Take heart! "You are precious in my eyes," God says, "and I love you" (Isaiah 43:4a). God never said He loved a diamond but He does say He loves you." https://proverbs31.org/read/devotions/full-post/2015/02/03/you-are-more-precious-than-diamonds Preach the words of the Lord, and reveal His heart! We are the most precious thing He ever created! The crown of His creation! TR Even we as humans can either love our children, or despise them! The workings of a heart both human and devine are sometimes similar! TR
