Broken to Restore

DAY 1 OF 5

EVERYTHING WORKS FOR GOOD, EVEN THE WOUNDS 

Do you know how pearls are formed?

These objects considered jewels, are formed in a very particular way.

The pearl grows from a painful process; the result of a foreign or undesirable substance like a parasite or a grain of sand, entering the oyster. Inside the oyster, exists a lustrous material called mother-of-pearl. When a grain of sand penetrates, mother-of-pearl cells begin to work and cover the grain of sand with layers and more layers to protect the helpless body of the oyster. As a result, an attractive pearl is formed. An oyster that has not been injured in some way, does not produce pearls, because the pearl is a scar from the wound. 

You and I cannot avoid being hurt in some way, but we can choose what to do with those wounds. 

My desire is that you turn each wound into something as valuable as a pearl... or even more.

Let’s pray:

“Dear God, I surrender to you and give you every wound of my heart. Please, let everything that I have lived, work for good. Help me know your will, even in uncomfortable situations. Help me forgive as you forgive me every day. In the name of Jesus, amen”.
