Some see this...
And other's see this...
Have you ever seen an uncut diamond? It looks like a little charcoal chip. A little black turd is basically what it looks like. Behind that layer, though, is a diamond. It just hasn't been discovered yet.
We look at each other, we look at ourselves and it's not what God sees. God sees the uncut diamond. He sees the dimaond that hasn't been discovered yet. He sees the junior in high school who has not yet discovered her giftedness. He sees the freshamn who is on the verge of discovering how he's gifted. God sees us differently than the world sees us.
This week, I challenge you to pray and ask God to show you the student in your ministry who has not yet discovered his or her giftedness. Follow that up by asking God what you can do to help them discover it!

So true! So many times we judge by outward appearance and stop right there. Kids are so perceptive & when they see this from us, we do have the potential to be a negative impact in their lives. Our words & deeds must be acceptable to Christ at all times in all situations. Just because we can't see Him polishing those diamonds in the rough into the beautiful stones they truly are, doesnt mean He's not at work. I want to be a helper in the "polishing" department. :)
