Dazzling Diamonds

Today, I learnt to optimize opportunities that open up, to romance the radiance of the rainbow after the rain. To gather golden grains before they turn to gross, to pick pleasant pearls before the got plundered and to blow beautiful balloon before they burst.. Today I learnt to lean on the love of the Lord... Carefully carry my cross & casting my cares on Christ, dancing to the drumbeat of His decisions as my daily delight, putting my pride and passion on the platter of His praise and walking wisely in His words, will and ways in this world. Today I learnt not to despise those in distress, discomfort & debt, they are worms wallowing in worry that can wake up to be wonders, They may be in tears yet they have trailblazing tales to tell, They may look mean but they can be moulded to be mighty. they may be dying in dirts and dross but they are dazzling diamonds. A learning to live series #1. (c) Adeleke Adeite. May 2008
