Knit One, Pearl You!

You are the one who created my innermost parts; you knit me together while I was still in my mother’s womb. I give thanks to you that I was marvelously set apart. Your works are wonderful—I know that very well.

—Psalm 139:13-14

If you do any knitting, you’re probably a pro at the different patterns that you can create with just a few simple knit and purl stitches. It’s awesome to see what the variety of wools and fibers can turn into when you’re done shaping and creating something beautiful that never existed before.

The good news is that everything God creates and starts to knit comes out a perfect pearl. You started out as a gem and somewhere within you, a tiny sparkling gem still exists. It was part of the knitting process when you were being imagined. If you haven’t felt like a pearl lately, it might be a good day to do a little digging and see where that nugget of joy really is. Remember that your Savior is the “Pearl of Great Price” and that he redeemed you so that you could come back to him, not just someday, but every day. He made it possible for you to seek his face every day you live.

Remember how valuable you are today. Remember what love went into making you the perfectly beautiful person you have become. You’re his pearl all the time.

Remember you too are a valuable pearl, a pearl made with great love.

IN THE QUIET OF THE DAY

Lord, you have done so much for me and I can hardly take it in. Help me remember that you see me as beautiful so that I can live up to that image as much as possible. Amen.
