Within each of us is a beautiful gem. Even in difficult people. This gem is sometimes buried and difficult to see. God showed it to me. In this video learn how to see others as Christ sees them, for a faith that’s fully alive.
Video Excerpt:
There are times when we have to draw the line and say, “When you get the help you need…” But the love never stops. Radical love is loving our enemies (the difficult people in our lives). Radical love is: I feel so sorry that this person is like this — not just for my own sake but for his own eternal sake.
When this friend really drove me up the wall to the point where I was like, “Lord, I want to quit. Can we quit now? Can I can I draw the boundary line that says, “Out of our lives!” Period. Now. And God said, “No. Let Me help you. I’m going to give you My supernatural love for him.” And in my prayer time I felt God giving me an imagination-vision. With my imagination he showed me an image of a gem….
He made us in his image, but as we grew up and as we dealt with people who sinned against us or made mistakes that hurt us — that was throwing muck and mud on our gem. And when we sin, we’re adding buck on to it.”

The Bible says, I have made you fearfully and wonderfully
Is it any relevance to it?
I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, BUT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO UNDERSTAND IT, IF POSSIBLE, if there is anything more to it”
Thank you
There really is not more to it. Just spend time prayerfully reflecting on the many facets of the real you who was created in the image of God. Each facet of your life reflects the beauty of God if it is free of the muck of sin. Learn to see past the muck of sin in others that is covering up their inner goodness.
