Connected You - Natural Pearl 925 Sterling Silver Cross Bracelet / Gospel / Gift

Revelation 21:21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate a single pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. Though pearls may not be perfect, the cross stands among us, allowing us to connect and form beautiful, integrated members. Not every oyster can produce a pearl. Only when a grain of sand or another foreign object enters, and the oyster cannot expel it, does it accept this uncomfortable intruder. Day after day, the oyster endures the friction of the sand against its body. In an effort to protect itself and alleviate the irritation, the oyster secretes layer upon layer of nacre, forming a pearl sac that envelops the sand, ultimately crystallizing into a pearl of far greater quality than the original irritant. Just as in life, though we may experience many difficulties, trials, and pains, these challenges also nurture and refine us into mature, resilient, and beautiful individuals.
