A hole had to be drilled into the washer to allow the wire to be held. This hole represents the piercing upon Christ's side as He hung upon the Cross. Christ was pierced for our transgressions.
The wire represents us, the world, sinners. The wire is imperfect, dented and unable to be connected to the Gem without the pierced washer.
The Gem in the center of the Washer represents God. Sovereign God, our Heavenly Father. The One who sent Jesus to die for our sins so that we may be His sons and daughters for eternity.
'I AM' is hand stamped into the Washer. Each letter having to be hammered one at a time with great force. Three strikes of a hammer, the same amount it took to nail Christ to the Cross.
The clasp which is one with the Washer represents the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit intervenes for us when we do not know what to pray for. It convicts us. It keeps us connected to Christ.
This charm as a whole represents just how important we are to God. He has wrapped Himself around us, through us and sent His son to die upon a cross so that our sins would be 'washed away' and He gave us a comforter that keeps us connected.
"But anyone who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him." 1 Corinthians 6:17
Two years ago I made about 300 of these for a Women's Conference held at our church as a give-away to bless the ladies that attended. I spent many hours in my garage making these and then one late night as I hammered away the letters, God began speaking to my heart a story in regards to these washers and how they related to His great love for us. That story is what you just read !
Be blessed this day by our Great I AM.
