Why Above Jewels?

I relize my blog doesn't exactly have a theme....I mean the name itself doesn't really have anything to do with any of my prior posts, does it? Well if you've read all of my other posts, you can probably tell I'm a Christian by now. so what?!?!
The title "Above Jewels" is derived from an encouraging scripture for women and girls who aspire to be a great wife one day. That verse is Proverbs 31:10, "An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels." Therefore, it is a virtue Christian girls and women alike strive for: that of an excellent wife. Can you think of anything more valuable than gold and other precious jewels? Not much, is there?
Above Jewels can apply to more than just being a good wife. (I have to write this so the guys don't get bored. ;-) As a Christian I work daily to eradicate sin from my life. Sin is like the imperfections in gold. To be even above the value of gold without those imperfections would be wonderful! But why do I even try? Because God doesn't want imperfections in his dwelling place. (aka heaven) Therefore I try constantly to become better than perfect gold, which is what God deserves. He deserves things with a value above jewels.
To enter his kindgom we need to be refined better than any earthly method could refine us. To be refined so well, you are ABOVE the value of JEWELS. That's what Jesus did. He refined his elect by ridding them of imperfections. He continues to do it daily, because they are pretty good at making more imperfections.
All I'm trying to say is that I hope through my posts, I can inspire you to have worth far above jewels. Therefore I do have a theme, it is that of telling you about our awesome creator. Telling you what he did, what he's doing, and what he's going to do. If you have any questions about how to "become refined," PLEASE ASK ME!!!!
