When seemingly needless suffering
invades our lives, we often ask ourselves,
“Who needs all this grief?” But consider,
for a moment, the origin of pearls.
Each pearl is formed by an oyster’s internal response
to a wound caused by an irritant, such as a grain of sand.
Resources of repair rush to the injured area. The final
result is a lustrous pearl. Something beautiful is created
that would have been impossible without the wound.
So if you’re suffering, remember: No wounds, no pearls!
If we accept adversity,
Enduring every pain,
Then we will learn what we should know;
Our grief will turn to gain.
Adversities are often blessings in disguise.
