HEART OF DIAMOND

***Heart of Diamond*** 

**What does it mean to have Heart of Diamond?** 

Like a Heart of Gold, precious and good, but grows harder and colder with time. 

The heart of Diamond is the opposite of the heart of gold, and this happens due to past events that occurs in one's lifetime and have made them close their heart to man and God, they do not appreciate or give good meaning to things around them anymore. 

Has there been lots of challenges in our lives or events around the world to make us doubt man or the existence of God in our life? Yes! There has been enough. 

How do you want someone born with deformities choose to appreciate God? Or someone who after working hard keeps failing to continue in appreciating God? Or someone who has had their heart broken by men or women/ladies many times to continue loving? 

This things are very difficult to comprehend or take on for we are humans and have blood and water flowing inside of us. This also had caused a lot of people in this world commit suicide or wished they were dead and never suffer again. 

People expect you to stay true and be humble even those that haven't for once walked in your shoes or even if you once walked in their shoes the season at which you walked in those shoes are far different from now, so don't use your own success story as criteria for another's man strives for times are different. 

**Life examples...** 

Someone said this to me at work that "Today am a manager but I used to be a contract staff and we earn 15 thousand naira monthly and I also sponsored myself to school doing permanent night for 3 years just to get my certificate 12 years ago" 

Trust me that was a great story and hardwork there for him to reach his goals but one thing he forgot is this; 

1. Back then 15 thousand isn't as bad as 30 thousand naira they now pay contract staffs in this same business due to increment in minimum wages. 

2. Things are a lot more cheaper e.g. with his 15 thousand monthly salary he bought GCE form 4000 naira, a bag of rice was around 6000 naira so quater of that is 1,500 naira, land was cheaper too even someone got a land for 50 thousand, house rents and nepa bils were okay. 

But now; 

You can't even buy a 12.5kg gas and kerosine  is also high in price or pay nepa bill in a ghetto apartment which back then was like 300 naira per room compared to now price of 5000 naira per room, GCE form is 15000 naira, land at minimum price even in the village is worth 500,000 thousand naira not to talk of transportation etc. 

Things have gone from bad to worse and all these are enough to turn one's heart from gold to Diamond. It makes one doubt if the choice for one to continue living is even worth it or its just better for someone to die and be free of all these troubles in this world.

**Then what do we do when our hearts turns diamond?** 

To me I am sure giving up isn't the solution at all, but the 100% trust and believing in God not man is the only thing that can help you change your diamond heart towards God and man back to Gold. 

Many will ask this;

WHAT REASONS CAN I HAVE TO CONTINUE TRUSTING AND BELIEVING A GOD WHO HAS WATCHED ME SUFFER? 

My answer is this, there are no reasons any pastor or man or Internet whatsoever can give you for there are none, but the only thing I believe will help you is YOU. 

1. You must genuinely want a change for yourself and be true to you that you want to live and want transformation and purpose. I am life and never allow you present predicament hold you down. 

2. You must turn to the only being who can help you be that for He created you (GOD ALMIGHTY) 

3. You must genuinely seek for GOD'S help and ask firstly for forgiveness and only then will God give you a reason that might not even make sense to anyone at times but you. 

If you are sick or disabled God might not physically heal you or He might, but one thing that is certain is He will give you a reason for life and peace within that your state of being won't even be a burden to you and you will always stay happy. 

Example... 

1. Evangelist Nick Vujicic

"When I was 8 years old, I became depressed. I kept asking why I was born this way [without arms and legs]. I also worried about my future. At the age of 10, I tried to commit suicide because I felt like giving up. But when I imagined my loving parents crying at my grave, I decided to stay." 

But later on in his life Journey he found God and He said; 

"I honestly didn't think miracles could ever come from my broken pieces, and I was disabled in fear that my dreams would always remain as dreams. Don't give up on you. Don't give up on God. Don't give up on love.As long as I try, there’s always a chance of getting up. It’s not the end until you give up." 

Evang. Nick Vujicic became one of the world richest and successful man and had kids and lived happy all his life and yes he stayed disabled. 

2. LADY GAGA 

Fibromyalgia is typically not life threatening but can affect day-to-day activities. Pain, fatigue, and lack of sleep that occur in fibromyalgia can impair the ability to function or concentrate. Patients may also feel frustrated due to their condition, and this can lead to anxiety or depression. 

Still she pushed and I still don't know how she did it but her music (songs) are awesome. 

3. KIM KARDASHIAN 

Psoriasis is caused, at least in part, by the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy skin cells. If you're sick or battling an infection, your immune system will go into overdrive to fight the infection. This might start another psoriasis flare-up. Strep throat is a common trigger. 

But we all know is how well she is doing and how much she makes... 

4. SIA (one of my favourite people)

Singer Sia doesn’t like to talk about herself and her personal life is a constant battle. After she moved to London at the beginning of her musical career, she had to deal with her boyfriend dying in a car accident. And then she became addicted to drugs and alcohol. 

Around the same time, she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease which is characterized by muscle weakness, irritability, and lethargy. In 2010, she had to cancel several shows because of her poor health. 

(Wikipedia) Graves' disease, also known as toxic diffuse goiter, is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid.[1] It frequently results in and is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism.[4] It also often results in an enlarged thyroid.[1] Signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism may include irritability, muscle weakness, sleeping problems, a fast heartbeat, poor tolerance of heat, diarrhea and unintentional weight loss.[1] Other symptoms may include thickening of the skin on the shins, known as pretibial myxedema, and eye bulging, a condition caused by Graves' ophthalmopathy.[1] About 25 to 80% of people with the condition develop eye problems.

N.B.

Yes, many recover physical illness or emotional but some don't but still God gave them purpose of life somehow, something to live for like SIA with her beautiful voice. WHAT GOD CAN'T DO DOESN'T EXIST.
