There's something special about pearls. They are like a symbol. a symbol of beauty and hope.
See, the pearl forms from a grain of sand--or, in other words, our trouble. but the oyster takes
this "trouble" and makes something beautiful out of it--the pearl. A pastor i once heard speak said,
"a pearl is a bit of beauty wrapped around trouble."

God can take our hardships and trials and make something beautiful out of them, if we let Him.
He can make us beautiful like a pearl.
