Indeed, they have high value. They are considered precious but <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">they\u2019re just substances. <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">They don\u2019t change or improve the world by themselves.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">Ideas,<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> however? These are truly powerful. <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">Innovation<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> is what changes the world. <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">Creativity<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> or a <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">fresh perspective<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> can act like a catalyst that begins<\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> a badly needed revival.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">The potential in you is worth more to this world than any tangible, precious resource. It might not be identified or recognised by even yourself yet but, if you were told that there were gold and diamonds under your garden, <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">would you get to work<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> and start digging immediately?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">The problem is that <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">people take their potential to the grave<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> because our culture and systems do not place appropriate value on them. Therefore, few people make the effort to mine and labour to <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">find their value.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">How do I know that <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">you have diamonds within you?<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> Because you are <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">made in the image of God<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> and from God came everything we know.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">God spoke<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> and time, light and space all came into being. God spoke and life was born. God spoke and<\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> purpose was given to man.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">I labour this point because when I realised that I was made in the image of God, c<\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">reativity began to flow out of me<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> like never before. I was able to <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">not just look but to see beyond <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">what my eyes were capable of by themselves. I realised that I could conceive something in my mind and birth it into the world just like God did when He made diamonds, gold and <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">even me.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">In the same way,<\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\"> there are diamonds in you. <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">You are capable of greatness because you are made in your Father\u2019s image. <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">You have His nature.<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">So <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">stop waiting for the world to see value in you <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family:Arial;\">or, worse, assign you your value.
