HE WHO LOVES FATHER OR MOTHER MORE THAN ME IS
NOT WORTHY OF ME AND HE WHO LOVES SON OR DAUGHTER MORE THAN ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME.....

DIAMONDS AREN'T FOREVER!
Diamonds are said by the world to be every girls best friend,
well here's one that says diamonds are but stones cut from the dirt ... Mrs Juvy
Margen Sheehan says ...
Before I met my husband Paul I lived in a place called, Laubach in the city of
Gessen/Frankfurt/Germany. I was not yet saved from the wrath to come or eternal hell at
that time .. it was my husband Paul who introduced me to Messiah/Jesus the Christ ... halleluyah!
..Luke 24:47.
At that time in my life I had a boyfriend who was the assistant of the then Mayor of
Gessen City and because of that I came in contact with many of the rich and well to do,
some would say (filthy rich). I used to be transported to the plush department stores
personally and price tags were irrelevant.
My boyfriend who I was looking to marry was forever arranging dinner parties for the Mayor
and his business associates, friends etc. and it was a continuous flow of champagne,
toasts and laughter .. just Prost! Prost! Prost!
We ate the best of foods, lived in the beautifullest of homes, my boyfriends parents were
simply wonderful. He even had world wide contacts as a drug runner and could buy the best
as he pleased yet I knew deep within diamonds werent forever. In the time I spent
with my boyfriend of old I came to see the falsity that surrounds the rich and idle rich.
I witnessed the folly in high places, as I met with the so called well to do of society. I
look back now and see clearly just what Jesus said .. I was poor yet appeared rich.
Now I am rich but I would appear to my associates of old as poor. I was a fool for the
devil/satan but now I am a fool for the Christ.1 was lost but now I am found, I was blind
but this day I can see the foolishness of earthly gain and riches.. Ecclesiastes 1:2.
Diamonds arent forever but the pearl of great price/Jesus is .. (it
appeared) back then in Germany/my Egypt .. that I had it all at my feet. I can speak in
five different languages, I had a man who would do anything for me and buy me all I wanted
when I wanted it. The food was delicious, the company educated, the atmosphere was fun but
the end was death.. Proverbs 14:12, Matthew 16:26.
By Gods amazing grace and riches I managed to escape such folly and meet with the
great king/Jesus the Christ and now I can tell the story of the futility of this life and
its riches .. diamonds arent forever ladies, they are just stones cut from the dirt
of the earth. Germany/my Egypt, was a experience that my precious saviour let me
experience even as He let Moses experience the riches of the Egypt of old. And I like my
brother Moses can sincerely say .. the reproach of the Christ is far greater riches
than all that is in Egypt.
This message has nothing to do with a person buying a ring for their
loved one but has everything to do with loving Jesus as number one .. Prost!
