The expression “diamond in the rough” refers to a person who has much potential, but it has not yet been developed. Some folks with great potential never develop, while others do.
The Bible addresses this for the believer. We should go from the milk stage to the steak stage.
Hebrews 5:12-13
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.
1 Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
Am I writing to mature audiences?
Give it some thought.
