A Fine-Cut Diamond
He searches for diamonds in the land,
One that can be fine cut and able to withstand.
He knows that there are so many to be found,
But a unique one will be pulled from the ground.
He has hands that can handle great diamonds indeed.
Tools of great importance to meet His needs.
In His presence were knowledge and skill,
Such experience to complete His will.
Handle me. Handle me well. The one who found me
Before I was born, He knew who I would be.
In me, a fine gem would appear,
Shining so bright and crystal clear.
First He had to go deep within
And cut me from this thing called sin.
He pulled me out from a deep, dark place.
The filth of sin was upon my face.
When He pulled me up, He knew what was there,
A hidden diamond that would be shown everywhere.
Cutting diamonds of great purity
By a spoken Word, it became a reality.
The time had come where He put forth His will.
He began to shape me, and I had to be still.
Pressing the fire against this heart of stone,
Cleansing me with His hands, down to the bone.
One coming forth from the carving of His hands,
Shining with purity, not bondage and bands,
Making me into this diamond that He saw.
When He finished with it, there would be no flaw.
Even though I will feel some pain,
Out of it shall come a gem that can withstand the rain.
This pain may hurt, but it will help me grow.
He had to take His time and move very slow.

About the Book
The Uncomfortable Blessing is a guide written to encourage the hearts of God’s people, especially those who are in some type of leadership position. Because we are called to do a specific work for God it’s not always easy. There are times where we can find ourselves in lonely places, doubting God’s will. When we think our work is finish, He will reveal to us, it is just beginning. Working in ministry can get rough at times but God will always let us know that He is with us and we must continue to finish His work. This calling can be uncomfortable, but God has a way to strengthen, mature, and deliver us, as we are doing a work for Him. God plan is the most important thing in our life once we are called. Because we are the leaders in the body of Christ, we’re the mouthpieces for them to hear. We must preach the true Gospel of Jesus Christ in order for his people to be set free. If we are obedient to what God has asked us to do, there are many blessings He have in store for us.
About the Author
Evangelist Brenda Victoria Boone was raised in a little town called Corapeake, North Carolina where she lived for most of her childhood life. After graduating from high school, she moved to New Jersey in 1983. In 1985, she accepted the Lord in her life. To pursue her desire to learn more about Him, she attended Everlasting Life Ministerial Bible School in New Jersey.
Following the completion of school, she was ordained as Evangelist Brenda Boone. There was so much more that she wanted to know about her personal Savior and she began to seek Him for herself. The more she sought Him the more He revealed himself to her and taught her His Word. A personal relationship had begun to deepen. After being taught the things of God, she was anointed to go and set His people free.
In September of 2008, she launched her “Beauty of Godliness” seminars for hurting women. For many years she has sat in His presences to receive the Word from the Lord; through her experience in life she believes God has placed an anointing on her to heal the women of God. Because of the love she have for hurting people, her desire is to see them healed and set free from any type of bondage that stops them from living their life to its fullness. No matter where He sends her, she goes with one request from the Lord; “Heal the broken hearts and set the captives free.”
