"[Pearls] are the only gems to come from a living creature." ~ThePearlSource.com
A pearl is formed from a grain of
sand foreign to the oyster. It doesn't belong so the oyster secretes the same substance of its shell. Layer upon layer, the grain of sand becomes bigger and smoother; something more. No longer a foreigner, the pearl is home. I liken the grain of sand to myself and the oyster to Jesus Christ. In Him, I am able to become more. In Him, I am no longer a stranger among strangers. In Him, I am home.
