"And above all things have fervent
love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins.” (I Peter 4:8)
How beautiful are the pearls right? But many do not
know they are the product of pain. Every pearl is the product of an oyster that
has been hurt by a grain of sand that has entered inside it.
An oyster that has not been hurt by a grain of sand cannot produce a pearl. On
the inside of the oyster is a substance called "Mother of Pearl" as a
grain of sand has penetrated the oyster, it covers it with layers of nacre to
protect itself. The result is forming a beautiful and dazzling pearl.
Have you ever been hurt by the words or attitudes of a person? Have you been
accused of saying things you've never spoken? Have your ideas been rejected or
ridiculed? Have you been guilty of doing something you've never done? Have you
ever suffered the blows of indifference? Have you ever been hurt by those who
you least expected? Do you feel that you're not valued as you deserve? Then you
must forgive and make your wound a large pearl.
Covering your wound with several layers of love, remember that the more you
cover your wound, the less pain you will feel. And on the other hand, if you do
not cover your wound with love, the wound will remain open and will hurt more
and more every day, it will be infected with resentment, and bitterness, and
even worse, will never heal.
In our society, we can see many "empty Oysters" not because they have
not been hurt, but because they failed to forgive, understand and transform
pain into a beautiful pearl. Always remember a pearl is a wound covered by
love.
