Galatians 4:19 Take that pain and make it a pearl until Christ be formed in you.

Pearls are made in a fascinating way. The oyster literally takes the grain of sand that causes it irritation & pain, and wraps it in layer after layer of the “Mother of Pear.” Instead of trying to escape the pain, it works with it until a pearl is produced. That worthless piece of sand is now a precious stone that has great value.

So what is irritating you lately? What about the problem you’ve asked God to take away, but is still there? God has given you an opportunity to take that thing and cover it with a layer of grace, a layer of patience, a layer of faith, and a layer of compassion. It takes years for a grain of sand to become a pearl! In as much, the work God is doing in you will not be accomplished overnight either.

God wants the world look at us & see the character of Christ, the real pearl of great price!
