THE PEARL IS IN OUR IMPERFECTION

Thank You that I am an imperfect instrument of Thy peace -- my every-morning prayer to the God of my own understanding. 

The "imperfect instrument" is our material self that ensures that we need always seek.

"Thy peace" is the pearl of great price, the promise that as we seek ever higher we know love more deeply.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,  

When our strength has failed ere the day is half done, 
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources, 
Our Father’s full giving is only begun. 
-- Howard Thurman, Meditations of the Heart

Thank you.
