But, er, I am not suggesting that one gemstone is to be preferred over another in the foundation of the New Jerusalem. And obviously God delights in the differences, He designed it that way.
That I am striving to be a diamond only means that gemstone is the best for me. It doesn't mean that among all of the gemstones, it is the most precious to God. God may prefer green as in emeralds (Revelation 4.)
Kind of figured that was your perspective . . .
but wanted to see it with my own eyes! LOL.
