They are sparkling and expensive, treasured and admired. Gems invoke a sense of wonder and awe because they show us light in a magical way. Gems represent the gift of seeing things as God sees things. She sees all of creation as a gem. He finds all that is sparkling and of great value. She sees how worthy all of life is and will always be. He never loses fascination with his work. God wants us to experience the same gems sense of life. When we take a moment to pause, breathe in spirit, and connect with our hearts we can quickly align ourselves with the gem of our hearts. It is fascinating to notice how our heart is beating and keeping us alive without us doing anything. This is just the physical gem. Going deeper in a moment of meditation as I have learned to do on my daily dates with God allows me to connect with the energy flowing in and out of my heart. In that space I can embrace the gems of my dark spaces and yours.
My prayer for us is the openness to see all of life as a gem, just like God does today and every day.
