You are a Pearl
An oyster embeds itself in the mire of the ocean floor. A pearl grows slowly and gradually within the mucous of the inside of the oyster's shell. This hardly seems an appropriate setting for something as beautiful as a pearl. Think of the lovely pearls you have seen, they shine and sparkle despite their early environment.
No matter what kind of bad situation your life may be in, God sees beyond that. He see you as the valuable and worthy person you really are. God goes beyond your assessment and that of others to His own appraisal of your merit and significance. God sees the pearl.
God looks beyond where you and others watch. He always sees something special in you.
from: Quiet Moments in the Presence of God
"The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it." Matthew 1:45-46
