I know I’ve posted this before, but it seems so very appropriate right now for so many of us.

How many of you feel

deep,

down

Trust me. You are not alone.

Remember that pearls come from deep dark places. Remember also that it takes a bit of irritation inside an oyster to produce a pearl.

So maybe those difficult people, that stressful job, that neverending commute, those social media posters, and everything else that gets on your nerves are just God’s way of refining you and transforming you into that pearl of great price.
