God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. – Genesis 41:52


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 lustrous pearl. Something beautiful is created that would have been impossible without the wound.
