My Gujarat

Authors FYI Gujarat, particularly the city of Surat, is a global hub for diamond processing, with about 80% of the world's diamonds cut and polished there, and Surat accounts for 65% of India's diamond trade.
A diamond in the rough that is what He was , he possessed a multifaceted radiant nature, but he also lacked refinement and polish. When it came to speaking the truth, he was a lance aiming straight for the enemy. In the face of sinful adversity and corruption, He was as devouring, as the desert sun; His heart ! Now that IS, the True jewel of this world ! A KohiNoor diamond, with the rarest spark. His soul was Divinely filled with spiritual essence, but his human psyche was at the very core of all human suffering... Soul, spirit or a Divine Force, he was a man you could not coerce, nor easily convert. Christ, Lord, Savior, Son of God, Lamb of God, "Messiah," Yes its all Him just take your pick As for me, He is the one who saves He is my Gujarat and my life force, the pacemaker of my beating heart. Take Him away from me remove the sparkle of His living word from my soul, and I'll be left forever in the dark. Good Shepherd, Son of man, He is a culminate of crucifixion and resurrection alike, He is the unlit flame that is waiting for you, to strike, So light Him up like the rare jewel that He is, Light Him Up! Light Him Up! Light Him Up !

A nice devotional poem. God is way above the Kohinnor or other gems. I was thinking that this poem is about Gujarat, a state in India.

Not necessarily in this case its about a place that hosts the most precious diamonds Jay. Since the contest is about Jesus the diamond, I mention it passingly

Dear Rose! Breathtakingly powerful and filled with such reverence and passion. The way you describe Him as a diamond, radiant, multifaceted, and unyielding is truly wonderful. Your words beautifully convey the duality of His strength and grace, His humanity and divinity. Keep shining, Rose; your words are a treasure! Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
