He showed me a picture of a big, flawless diamond. In my mind, I saw that it was so big and huge that it momentarily blinded me. So I asked Him what it meant and He revealed to me that it was His HEART.
Like the diamond, His heart is strong.
Like the diamond, His heart is pure.
Like the diamond, His heart is priceless.
Like the diamond, His heart is rare.
Like the diamond, His heart is a gift undeserved.
In contrast my heart is like a piece of ordinary glass.
My heart is fake, trying and failing to imitate His glow.
My heart is cheap, easily bought by idols of my own making.
My heart is fragile, easily broken by mere words, actions or lack thereof....
But then I feel the hand of God, reaching down, exchanging my broken, fragile, cheap heart for His precious, pure and strong heart.
I slowly shake my head, because I am fully aware, that whatever I do, I would never be able to pay for His heart.
But He showed me the CROSS, and He reminded me that I don't have to pay for anything, because He already did.
