Have you ever seen a diamond the size of an egg? A New York auction house is showing one that will soon be auctioned off. It is described as being the greatest stone in terms of size, quality polish and color ever to be auctioned. It is expected to bring between 26-35 million dollars. But this beautiful gem was once a bit of carbon buried deep in the earth. Perhaps as you view your life today, it appears to be worthless like the carbon. Bu t God can change all that. When we ask Him to forgive our sins and make us one of His children, He has promised to make us new. How do I know? It’s in the Bible. “therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.” Song-writer and singer Bill Gaither gave us a song that expressed this change in simple terms. “something beautiful, something good, All my confusion He understood. All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife, but He made something beautiful of my life.”
