A Pearl or a Rose- which do you want to be?

 

Pearls

What are Pearls Made of?

Pearls are formed when a piece of sand or other irritant wounds the oyster or clam. It secretes a substance that over the years and many layers harden into a beautiful, costly pearl.

Which do you want to be - the irritant or the beautiful pearl? God sees us as more priceless than the costly pearl. Oh for his vision!

The more costly pearls are formed at deeper depths. God sends pearls into our lives via tears by family, friends and situations. If we did not cry getting us through the wounds, we would not grow and learn. How costly a pearl are you going to be?

Thorns

My children you may be tempted to be bitter and complain about the situations or places I place you in but remember my children, even the most beautiful or roses has their thorns. To get to the beauty you have to grow thru stages and thorns, learning and perfecting your walk such as the case remember the three Hebrew children thrown in the fire. I was with them and brought them out as gold. To be the most beautiful and fragrant of roses - go thru the thorns and dry spells.

Bloom where you are planted.
