What kind of Diamond are You?

Lost and Found....what have you found while reading this description of the Bride of Christ?

"A good woman is hard to find"

How do we know if we are a "good" woman....Difficult to determine from within and not have a big ego about yourself, but I think with a few points for direction you can decide where you fall on the overall scale of good or not good. Obviously, your friends and family with help with this determination, but how do you?
Do you have a strong relationship with our Lord?  Have you consistently put time into this relationship and built it BEFORE and DURING your marriage WITH your husband and family.  Going over the many points of Proverbs 31, have you worked these into your life?  It's not hard to see why we think we have to be "super women" but do you also see that when you build your relationship with the Lord and continue to grow in your faith that these attributes are natural outcomes?  You will BECOME the DIAMOND of UNTOLD WORTH!  As I started this journey, I looked up what it takes to make a diamond....and three factors are key in the building of diamonds.  Pressure, time and heat.  And an enormous amount of each of these is necessary for a diamond to burst forth from the depths of the earth and rise to the surface as the untouched beauty we now use as a symbol of unending love and value. Diamonds come in all kinds of colors and shapes...we humans have placed dollar values on the different colors, sizes and cuts in order to grasp in our human minds just what something of unimaginable beauty could worth. It takes a lot of work and dedication to be a "good woman" and I know that we all want that for ourselves and our families.  This work is worth "far more than diamonds" to our Lord when we dedicate our efforts to it and to Him.  Remember....in His eyes  you are already diamonds!!  You are already PRICELESS...BEYOND THE WORTH OF DIAMONDS!
