Poetry
“A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.”
Through irritation we grow
Through irritation we mature
Through irritation, we become a gem
It is a principle of our life on this planet
A pearl is a beautiful and costly gem
Pearls are found in oysters but
They are formed throw irritation—
An object in the sea enters the oyster and wounds it
The oyster releases a substance and a pearl is formed
It takes up to six or seven years to form the pearl—
This is an important principle in our understanding of the Kingdom of God
Through irritation the message of the Kingdom will expand in us
Through irritation, the message of the Kingdom will influence our territory –
Paul understood this very well and His growth was phenomenal
The greatest truths are the simplest, and so are the greatest men. ~ Julius Charles Hare
