WORTHY GEM

Close up and behold gem of worth Gargantuan with respect to value Defying dirt from mother earth. Through microscope midst vibrant light Lens reveal precious treasure Iridescent, glowing against dross’ blight. Under microscope divine, held graciously magnified There am I, faith-polished by the Creator’s hand To fulfill His assigned role, as precious stone* beautified. *1 Peter 2:5 - Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

And his assigned role, that is the gem. Just wait till it unfolds and beholds that even though He is God, we under estimate him. The microscope shows true flawnesses in his design. Shows that in His loves potential for us the microscope kaleids with a view of our destiny in the body of Christ. "To fulfill His assigned role, as precious stone beautified." Very lovely poem and offering of spirit.
