Diamonds- Perfection and Flaws

I observed many years ago that when you hold a diamond up to the light, you will find many facets,prisms,and yes sometimes flaws. I was told that you could view the flaws as either good or bad, depending on how you "looked" at it and that flaws in the diamonds are what identifies that diamond from the rest. I can look at my past, present, and future from many perspectives and see the different prisms and the beauty in them, many times I tend to fixate on the flaws to the point that I can't see the "forest for the trees" and lose my bearings. On many of those occasions God has brought this verse to me as a source of comfort and compass to direct my thoughts back on the right path. It is from Isaiah 43:12 "But you are my witness. You're my "handpicked" servant so that you will come to know that I AM and who I am." Ah! Could it be that God created me with my flaws so that,not only will my journey be unique than others to Him,but those flaws would be the thing that would actually draw me to identify who He is and what He is about? As I think about this,I am taught that He handpicked me to serve in areas of my life so that in those experiences , be it joyful or challenging, a state of ease or between a rock and a hard place, these are the places that I will come to know that God "IS" and discover "WHO" He is. I am committing to digging deeper and journaling my thoughts and life experiences through an Isaiah 43 perspective. Feel free to share with me as well.
