GEMSTONES 

Gemstones of significant practical value do not usually fall upon an altar or land in someone’s lap. I often find them imbedded within the context of things that are written.

Such “gems” are profuse in the relational email dialogues of my friend, Jay Ferris. But, they have to be “mined” from the quarry of in-depth prophetic insights that is, to me, a “bottomless pit.”  He has given me permission to “mine” a couple of these nuggets, and “gift” them to you.   

The hallmark of Jay’s heart is “love.”  He points out that: Loving like Jesus loves is to lay down your life for the one who is taking it!  Ponder that for a few moments! 

This next one helps us to understand why we are not understood:  It is probably something in your eye that hinders you from helping others to see!  Get it? 

The practical implications of the kingdom are wrapped up in this statement:  The kingdom is in the moment, set in the context of eternity!  Don’t miss the moment!

There is much profit in mining such gemstones.
