Description
I wrote this parable a number of years ago after reading the Scripture that talks about us being the "Pearl of Great Price" (Matthew 13:45). Although I didn't yet know the Holy Spirit as I do now, the Father knew I was searching to know Him, and He gave me this poem that depicts our value, and how priceless we are to God.
"A Priceless Pearl" depicts Jesus Christ who is the Merchant looking for fine pearls. He uses the trials and disappointments in our lives to buff out the rough spots and soften the hardened places in our hearts. Eventually we see that He uses the knocks and bruises of life to make us His pearl of great price.♥

Oh~ What a beautiful poem, Hazel!! Very touching & inspiring!! Thank you for your perspective as I just thought the pearl as a metaphor of the Kingdom of Heaven and never thought that we are His pearl of great price. It encourages me so much...I will keep it in my mind from now on. Love the beautiful frame as well!! Bless you!! L/F

Thanks Michelle for your kind words and encouraging comments! This poem has touched the hearts of a number of incest survivors over the years and helped to bring further healing. That makes the pain of my childhood worth it if I can help someone to know how precious they are to God! :-)
