It's Your Pearl!

When something irritates you, how do you handle it?
Do you take it personal?
Do you stay in peace?
Do you take action?
Do you speak up?
Do you sit down?
Do you feel overwhelmed?
Or do you feel like you can overcome it?

When an irritation like a foreign substance gets inside an oyster, it produces a secretion. After months the secretion hardens and evolves into a pearl. Man dives dangerously in the deep seas seeking pearls. They are valuable sought after treasures. People actually pay for this "irritation" that evolved into a pearl.

When an irritation gets inside your spirit and life, you can either allow it to eat you up and develop ulcers, hypertension, back ache, head ache, stomach ache, heart ache or you can gain a pearl of wisdom from the experience. You can develop a new insight, faith and a life lesson from your setbacks and pain.

This pearl of great price that you've gained was once an irritation, an unwelcome intrusion into your life but now you see it differently. You come out of the depths of the sea of despair, depression and discouragement. You can come out of the dark pool of water and rise to the surface and see the light. It's your pearl. Turn your pain into pearls.
