“My Dearest Jewel,
Some considerable time ago, a beautiful thought entered my mind, a thought of creating you, a precious jewel. My deepest affections and love, my heart of goodness and kindness went into this thought. After carefully considering a place where I could fashion you, I chose a dark and hidden place where I formed you and watched over you. In my love and wisdom and with my skills as a Creator, there, hidden from any eye, I created you. My powerful hand was on you, knowing in my mind exactly what you should look like. I gave you unique characteristics that would make you special and point those who would later see you to me.
~
My priceless treasure, please keep your eyes on me and my plan for you. I will show you how you can shine. I will set you in my Light that you might reflect my love to this dark world. Don’t stay in the darkness of this world, which has no light for you. Don’t look to the darkness to give you your worth. Stay close to me, the One who has formed you. I know how to make you shine.

My Light is nothing like the dim light the world tries to possess. In my Light, your imperfections will not show. My Light will do so much more than the world’s light, it will penetrate to your core and make you shine from deep within. In my Light, you will become that for which I have created you, a precious reflection of me. My Light will illuminate you. My Light has overcome the darkness. Nothing can withstand its illumination brightness. Come now, out of the shadows of this fading world, into my Light.

You are my priced possession and precious jewel.”
Psalm 139
