Once upon a time there was a father who gave his young daughter a string of rice pearls. The girl really loved the necklace until, days later, the father asked for it back. She refused. At the dinner table, night after night, the father would stretch out his hand and asked for the rice pearls. The girl resisted, pouted, cried, accused her dad of being mean & unfair, but was miserable. She was no longer enjoying dinner w/ her dad. One night, she had enough. She decided to let go of the rice pearls so she can once more enjoy her father. So very reluctantly, she handed him back the necklace. To her dismay the father immediately tossed it into a nearby fireplace. Then, he reached into his pocket and produced a string of real pearls. He had it all along, but wanted the girl to give up what was good so he may give her the best. Just like the father in the story, trust that our Heavenly Father will be gracious to give you the real pearl necklace. The kind worth giving up everything else for. The kind worth waiting for. The kind worth loving w/ all your heart. --- Nelson Dy
