God's Rough Stones

We are God’s rough stones.  It is up to us to cleave away hatred and prejudice—whether based on race, nationality, religion, disability, sexuality, gender identity, or anything that blinds us to one another’s beauty or potential.  When have done this, we are shaped into the concealed gem within. 

And when we polish the newly-revealed facets, we allow God’s light in, refracting and reflecting it within our souls, and shining brilliantly back out to heal a broken, sometimes dark, world.
