God Has Placed A Diamond Within You上帝在你寄予钻石

I once heard a story of a man who owned acres of land with running brooks and rolling hills.我曾经听到一个男人谁拥有与运行布鲁克斯和连绵起伏的丘陵亩土地的故事。 He decided one day to sell his land and move away to search  for diamonds in other locations.有一天，他决定卖掉他的土地和搬走，对在其他地方寻找钻石。 The couple that purchased his property was walking one day over their land next to the creek when they saw something that caught their eye.这对夫妻，购买他的财产是走在自己的土地旁边的小溪一天，当他们看到的东西引起他们的注意。 As they reached down to pick it up they noticed the sparkle that it carried and was fascinated to the point that they brought the rock into their home and placed it on their mantle.当他们俯身拾起来，他们看到了闪闪发光，它通过，很惊讶的一点，就是他们带进家中的岩石和它放在自己的衣钵。

It was a rather large rock with blemishes and even scratches on the surface but the part that caught their eye was not what they saw on the outside but what they could see sparkling on the inside.这是一个相当大的污点，甚至岩石表面而引起的部分，他们的眼睛没有什么划痕，他们看到在外面，但他们在里面可以看到闪闪发光。 For there was something about this rock that caught their attention but until they actually took the time to pick it up and study its configuration this rock still remained just an interesting piece on their mantle.对于很多人对这个事情的岩石引起他们的注意，但直到他们真正花时间去捡起来，研究它的配置这块石头上仍然只是一个有趣的地幔一块。

One day when a guest was visiting their home this rock caught  his attention also.有一天，当客人到访他们的家这块石头也引起了他的注意。 As he picked it up and studied the rock he began to polish the stone and help chip off some of the things that were attached on the outside that obstructed the view of what was on  the inside.当他把它捡起来，并研究了岩石，他开始打磨的石头和帮助过的人就认为是什么阻碍了看法，里面是一些芯片以外的附加的东西。 This man had an eye that could recognize what type of sparkle that he was holding in his hands and when he was done polishing the stone to their surprise this stone was a diamond in the rough that went on to be one of the largest diamonds on record.这个人有一个眼睛可以识别什么样的火花型，他拿在手里，当他做抛光的石头令他们吃惊的是，在这块石头的粗钻石是接着是记录在案的最大钻石之一。

Isn't this how life is? It is in our human nature to look everywhere else and even give up on what we have just as the original landowner did in this story who sold his land to go search for something that he already had.难道这不是生活是怎样呢？在我们的人性是看其他地方，甚至放弃我们刚刚与原土地所有者在这个故事谁卖给他的土地去的东西，他已经做了搜索。 There are so many lessons in this story that we can apply to our lives and until we learn how to look for what God has placed right before us and within us how can we honestly expect to find it somewhere else?这个故事中有这么多的教训，我们可以申请我们的生活，什么上帝放在我们面前的权利，并在我们，直到我们学会如何去寻找我们又怎能期望找到它诚实别的地方？

God has placed treasures all around us and it is very easy to overlook something because of what we see on the outside but it is vital that we learn how to look for what God has given on the inside.上帝把我们周围的所有宝藏，这是很容易忽视，由于我们在外面看到的东西，但至关重要的是，我们学会了如何寻找什么上帝给在里面。 In the book of 1 Samuel 16 the Lord said, “For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart.”在主里的书撒母耳记上16说：“因为耶和华不认为人认为，对人类在外表看，但看在上帝的心。”

  So many times we fail to search what God has given us just as the farmer and we miss out on the blessings that can be received.所以，很多时候，我们不寻求什么上帝给了我们同样的农民，我们错过了可以接收的祝福了。 Every single individual has a diamond in the rough but it requires attention, time, study, and even polishing with the gentle touch of love that will make it shine beyond mankind. Sometimes things even have to be chipped away because of how they are attached but once this is done in love you will find that it was for its own good.每一个人都有一颗未经雕琢的钻石，但it需要注意，时间，学，甚至与爱，将使得人类的光辉温柔touch beyond抛光。有时事情更须插话离开，因为它们是如何重视，但一旦这样做是爱你会发现它是为自己好。 Once we discover the jewel that we carry we must maintain what we have been given by applying the Word of God to our lives daily to increase our values in life as we learn to walk with Jesus Christ.一旦我们发现的宝石，我们进行我们必须保持我们已经运用神的话对我们的生活每天要增加对生活的values我们学会走路耶稣基督给出。

We never know what we have until we actually take the time to look within ourselves in the Word of God to discover the jewels that we carry and the treasures of love that fills our hearts and souls…amen我们永远不会知道我们，直到我们真正需要的时间内寻找自己在神的话语来发现携带和珠宝，我们的爱，充满我们的心和灵魂的宝藏...阿门
