I look in the mirror everyday, with confidence, I can see my blemishes and flaws. I can see my tired and weary eyes. I see my dry, chapped lips of winter. My frizzy, split-end hair freely takes over my face. The creases on my face tell me of the fears and worries. I can see my flaky, dry skin. The scars on my knees and hands tell stories of pain. My weak and swollen ankles remind me of how broken I am.
God looks in the mirror and sees this gorgeous woman. Her womanly curves are only one of her many attractive assets. Her ringlets of curly hair accents her rosy cheeks. Her eyes sparkle like diamonds reflecting light and life. Her beautifully formed lips entice others as she speaks from her soul. This talented woman has some perfectly placed scars, which tells wonderful stories of love and life. The woman, despite her weak and worn ankles, accessorizes with sparkling ruby colored heels.
I have come to realize with confidence that I am The Hidden Pearl. I am hidden amongst my insecurities and hardness of life on Earth. But with flip of perspective and my faith in God, I see, that I am A Pearl. I am no longer hidden. The beauty of the Pearl mystifies me. But, some day, in Heaven, I will be a Crystal Clear Pearl that reflects Christ's purest and warmest colors.
