It is a process. It is by grace through faith that we receive salvation which happens in the blink of an eye; sanctification though takes time, persistence, and endurance. Always remember that it is a process.  You will have missteps, but they do not derail your progress; rather they are used to make you stronger. Stay with it and don’t give up.  The process that He is putting you through will make you shine.  Inspiration The inspiration behind Process with Purpose™ is the process of sanctification.  When we accept Jesus into our heart, when we start to form that relationship with Him, it’s all about salvation. That happens in the blink of an eye but there’s this whole process over time of sanctification which we don’t hear a whole lot about. At the center of this design is an 18k yellow gold cross. The reason behind the cross specifically being 18k yellow gold is if you think about Solomon’s temple, it was abundantly glorious with more gold than you can imagine. Gold was used in places that you wouldn’t put gold like the door hinges, the ceiling, the floors, etc. Around the decadent 18k yellow gold cross is a circle of silver. Lustrous silver is encircling the 18k gold because we’re always encircling Jesus trying to get closer to him.  He is at the center of everything. Then there are the trillion-cut gemstones. Every stone in the collection is a trillion shape which has three sides.  The significance being that our God is a triune being, the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT and that we, according to the creation story in Genesis, we are made, man and woman in the image of God. We are a spirit that has a soul that lives in a body; we are also a triune being. Each of the trillion-cut gemstones are pointing at the cross, at Jesus, at God.  He is the source of our salvation and the focus on our journey towards sanctification.  Another detail about this particular design and one of the reasons why it is so very unique is the sanctification theme. Each piece has a gorgeous London blue topaz bezel set into the silver circle at the very top of the 18k yellow gold cross pointing towards it.  As you move clockwise around the circle of silver the topaz gemstones proceed to get lighter in color ending at white topaz.  This ombre effect of dark to light is meant to signify our own journey through time as we walk with God getting closer and closer to Him.  As we allow Him into more areas of our lives, we’re purified, we learn more about Him and ourselves, we become more like Him, we start to want to be and do better, we are sanctified.  As a bonus, when the sun hits these gorgeous, natural topaz gemstones, they pop with an amount of color that will absolutely thrill you.
