Diamond In The Rough (DITR)

Written by Favour Ifeoluwa Olanrewaju ✍️✍️

I know the first thing that came to your mind when you saw this title is Ayra star.

Oh yes, Ayra star. Ayra star sang a song titled DITR.

But now, listen... let's forget about Ayra star for a moment. Let's talk about you.

The Bible says children are the heritage of the Lord. Children are blessings to parents. Children are answered prayers.

There's no wedding ceremony you attend and they won't pray for the new couples multiple of times that they will bear children.

The arrival of a baby brings joy into the family.

Children are Diamonds 💎💎.

You have a father, you have a mother... regardless of wherever they may be now. Your coming into this world is not a mistake, forget about whatever situation it happened. God has account of every single child born on Earth, regardless of whatever situation the child came into this world.

Every parent want's a successful child, they want a child who will grow and obey them. And that's why they train us. It's the wish for every parent to send their children to school. Your parent might not be so rich, nor might not even be buoyant, but I want you to know that your parents love you the most.

The best way to honour your parents is to obey them, as long as their training is in accordance to the word of God.

Listen, your poor mum sent you go school to become a lawyer, you went there and decided to join cult, you decided to become an armed robber. She never wanted that for you.

Your father never wanted that for you.

You now carry guns, you now kidnap and use people for rituals. Then you get caught, and you're sentenced to death or life imprisonment. And then make he who raised you cry.

You poor Dad sent you to school, you decided to become a prostitute, you started doing hook ups. You got pregnant and decided to abort it.

Or you contacted one sexually transmitted disease or the other.

One thing that baffles me the most is the fact that, 70% of waywards had proper up bringing from home.

They said you should not go out, you want to go out to see what this evil world has in store. But you forgot there are lions out there.

Your parents might be poor, but there are many things you can do to help, rather than just sitting down and waiting for them.

You don't need to be an armed robber, you don't need to do hook up, you don't need to do Yahoo or Yahoo plus, you don't need to pic pocket.

There are alot of legal works to do, it's just too many people being way too lazy.

Before coming to school, especially if you know things aren't that easy, you should at least have one or two hand works.

There are zero capital business you can go into, go to bakery... carry bread and sell, come and pay the money after removing your profit.

Being in a school environment, you can't tell me you don't know different businesses you can go into. You stay in the hostel, there are things you can lay hands on.

80% of people who go into illegal activities or dirty works are just being covetous.

They want to live the big girls and big boys life. You want to use just four to six years you'll be spending in school to destroy your future. Be content.

Some of our parents and elders made mistakes they don't want us to make again. you should listen to them.

Listen to your parents.

No matter the era, you can't know better than them. They also passed through this stage you are now.

Make your parents happy by coming out of that dirt you put yourself in, and be the shinning diamond 💎 they want you to be. Just like the prodigal son, come back home.

You have a purpose to fulfill, you have an impact to create in your environment and even in your nation at large. Make them proud.

You can't fulfill purpose being a cultist or hook up babe. You've got to make a change.

Let your parents pray for you, a prayer coming from the bottom of their heart. It goes a long way, I don't joke with it sincerely.

Read your book, work hard and take care of your parents. They deserve it.

Make them proud.

Let them watch the diamonds they brought into the world shine again.

You can do better than that.

Be a blessing to your parents, don't be a curse.

And wherever your parents are right now, on Earth or with the Lord. Let them smile.

You only attract blessings when you do good by being that shinning diamond God wants you to be.

Do what's right, make them happy.

You're not a worthless problem, YOU ARE A SHINNING DIAMOND. You just have to come out of that rough.

Thanks for reading 🙏🙏
