Devotionals
Aquamarine is the birthstone for March. The name coming from the Roman words “Aqua” meaning water and “Mare” meaning sea. The Romans believed it was sacred to Neptune and would grant safety while at sea. In ancient times the stone was also used heal disease and reverse poisoning.
This beautiful crystallized mineral rock, unlike other gemstones, is often flawless. The most interesting fact about Aquamarine is that it is often heat treated to change the colour from less desirable colours to the brilliant clear blue it is loved for.
This makes me wonder. In life we often face tough challenges which produce heat and friction. The challenge is, do we allow that heat to destroy us, or like Aquamarine can we turn those situations for good and allow them to bring out the beautiful colours that God has created within us?
My hope is that through these challenges with the help of the Holy Spirit we can grow to see the beauty of God manifested within us.
