One day your world will stop spinning, your foundations will
crumble, and the earth will swallow you up. One day the lights will go out, the
shadows will grow, and your body will melt away. And in that day, when
everything becomes nothing, you will remember everything you’ve done. And you
will either think, what a worthless life, or you will suddenly realize what a
diamond you are. You were a diamond among diamonds, but no less worthy. You
struggled under pressure and came out the stronger – but you never knew. When
you close your eyes, I hope, I pray, that you will see what a treasure you were
to me. I know you felt hidden by shadows. I know that when your dust blew away,
you felt like I failed you. But the dust that fell was dirt to be washed,
leaving the crystal clear diamond behind. I know that when you shrank and cried
and felt like you would rather die, you felt as weak as a brittle twig destined
to break off – but what you didn’t know is that as you let go, you became
stronger and shone brighter. But the pressure was so great, the trials so hard,
you closed your eyes to reason, and trudged on blind. You resolved to do what’s
right, you tried to make your heart aright. You changed lives, loved the lost –
but never thought to love the lost one inside yourself. But now the time is
fading, now your time is coming. You lay down in your bed, alone but not alone.
You think that you just flew through life without a single impact. But lives
were touched and hopes mended, by the tender words of your mouth. If only you
knew how many people care, those who know and those who don’t. But instead
you’ll die willfully alone, never to know, the value of your life. But maybe
when your life flashes before your eyes, and you realize that you have breathed
your last, you will open your eyes as you close them, you’ll open your heart as
it ceases to beat, and realize that you were my gem, my preciously cut gem,
that I made to bite the hardest metal hearts. You will realize that though just
a drop in an ocean of millions, you were mine and I guided your path to be
where you needed, when every drop counted. I’m sorry you were so thirsty in
life, I am sorry you were so hungry. But you refused to eat at my table, you
refused to take my word. I was your God in everything but that and it breaks my
heart that you never saw the beauty, the value, the success, the joy wrapped in
a precious package called you. But when you come home, I’ll show you what you
missed. We’ll make up for it in eternity and loving bliss. Because no words can
describe my love for you, and no words can describe the pain I’ve felt at all
the lies you believed. But that’s over now, you’re coming home to me, where I
can show you the beauty you were always meant to see.

No, not really a quote. But I wanted to share this little piece of writing. I hope you enjoy it and maybe it will speak to you. :) God bless!
