If we saw a priceless diamond in the mud , we would fasten our sight on that gleaming stone ,oblivious to the surrounding dirt. We would even dirty our hands to seize the gem. In like manner, we all have that gem of great price inside.It is the gem of beautiful qualities; compassion,patience, understanding,wisdom – it is a rare gem. In some it is so strong that it shines through all the dirt and we see it instantly. In others we have to search a little to find it, but it is always there in each human being. If we dealt with each other in this manner , always discarding the dirt and seeing the gem  how much could our relationships with each other change. Our lives would be transformed and we would bring such peace to another’s heart.
