The most brilliant diamonds don't just jump out of a mountain of rock. Discovering and uncovering real diamonds requires very intense labor and dedication. Deep within each human being there's a masterpiece, a gem among gems created under the pressures of life and death. Life won the battle and the creator now seeks to knock away any and all materials that covers the masterpiece. God is in the business of moving mountains to create opportunities for diamonds to shine. This requires each of us to make decisions. As God begins to knock away the layers rock and dirt, we begin to feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Its here we must have an internal motive of decision making that is not influenced by outside forces. When God moves mountains, don't run back under the rock and dirt and settle back in your comfort zone. The diamond that's unbreakable is inside, the rock and dirt must be moved before its out in plain sight. When the inside God created gets out, we accept the responsibility for our hopes and dreams, our failures and heartaches. Inside out gives us an extraordinary freedom and strength to deal with the decisions, dedication, and pressures of life. God is always more concerned about your character (inside) than He is about your comfort (outside). Get inside out!
