Essentially pearls are formed when a small pearl bead is inserted into the mollusk. In the wild the pearl is formed to protect the oyster from an irritant. The mollusk creates a pearl sac to protect it from an irritant. The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued as gem stones and therefore the word pearl has become a metaphor for something very rare, fine, admirable and valuable.
As God works in our lives, there are issues we face and deal with daily that are irritants or issues that cause conflict. As he works in us the Holy Spirit creates a pearl sac around our rough area and seals it in. Many people have found that the very “sin” they have been saved from becomes their area of greatest testimony as they reflect on the work of the Holy spirit.
Our testimony is valuable and precious to God. Will you allow him to work on your rough areas and transform it into a beautiful pearl?
