We Are Precious Pearls...

Matthew 13:45-46

The Message (MSG)

45-46 “Or, God’s kingdom is like a jewel merchant on the hunt for excellent pearls. Finding one that is flawless, he immediately sells everything and buys it.

I have been known to call the "older generation" my "Pearls of Wisdom". They have so many story's and so much to offer the world. To bad the society in which we live, at times, sees them as "Old" and in the way. Society would rather have them "locked up for safe keeping." 

I love how many of the Third World Countries see the "senior Generation." They are seen as important and vital to the community. Many seniors live with their children and are taken care of in their home instead of a "retirement" home...I think most of these Pearls are far away from retiring...

How joy-filled I am to know that God does not see his "pearls" as something to be locked away but he cherishes them. You see...we, humanity, are those pearls that God is looking for. God found His pearls...you and me...went home, and bought those pearls at a great price...God's only Son, Jesus Christ. Humanity may be flawed but we are precious in God's sight. WE are made into that flawless pearl through the blood of our Risen Lord, God's Son, Jesus Christ. 

God is the jewel merchant that is looking for that excellent pearl. 

Are you willing to be found?
