Oh how I love how God wraps Himself around us, and comforts us in times of affliction and pain. Look at this awesome visual in the video above, when affliction is comforted and turns to beauty in an oyster.
“‘Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your naked body. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine. Ezekiel 16:8 ………. Beautiful visual from God’s word.

God sees our pain and wraps Himself around us.
2 Corinthians 1: 3-5… “the Father of compassion, and the God of all comfort”…
I just had to share the video because it is such a great analogy of how our Heavenly Father comforts us in times of trouble. Isn’t God amazing on how He speaks to us through even the smallest of His creations. That just amazes me! This visual of great affliction and pain of an intruder in an oyster, is comforted by a substance that produces such beauty. What is really amazing, is that with all the knowledge of science, and the technology of man, they can’t recreate an original pearl.
Real Pearls are very expensive. Most people buy imitation. The Spiritual Shelter Jesus invites us to is real. There is no substitute, and no other way to the Father but through Jesus Christ, John 14: 6. The way has been very lovingly prepared for us by the Father, and very expensively prepared for us. There was no other way to a relationship with God without the shedding of blood for our sins. John 3:16, God loved us so, He gave us His One and only Son.
What a painful price Jesus paid for us to be made beautiful in His Father’s eyesight. Salvation can’t be bout, and you can’t ever be good enough. You can be the most religious person, and do all kinds of work for the church. Ephesians 2: 8-9 says, “It is by grace you have been saved, through faith---and this is not from yourselves, it is a gift of God---not by works, so that no one can boast.” Much too high a price was paid.
Jesus paid it all for us when He willingly gave His life up on the cross. The only way to receive salvation, is to confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. Repent and turn from our selfish, sinful lives.
What a gift from God, more precious than any diamond or pearl. Won’t you receive this truth by faith?
