GOD Molds Us Like Jewelers Mold Natural Pearls...

According to the renowned Jewelers of J.Thomas Jewelers gives us a quick lesson in understanding the process of how pearls are formed. 

1 Natural [ Authentic & Original ]...

2. Cultured [ Is poison with irritating works which is surgically implanted]... as we see in our movies and society at large-someone is always trying to define and redefine what is marriage, and what is the new family; and what is acceptable now. This process is done little by little it is a type of irritant.

3. Imitation [Fake-something that is fake is a counterfeit-not authentic or lacking originality ].

There are essentially three types of pearls: natural, cultured, and imitation. A natural pearl (often called an Oriental pearl) forms when an irritant works its way into a particular species of oyster, mussel, or clam. As a defense mechanism, the mollusk secretes a fluid to coat the irritant. Layer upon layer of this coating is deposited on the irritant until a lustrous pearl is formed.

A cultured pearl undergoes the same process. The only difference is that the irritant is a surgically implanted bead or piece of shell called Mother of Pearl. Often, these shells are ground oyster shells that are worth significant amounts of money in their own right as irritant-catalysts for quality pearls. The resulting core is, therefore, much larger than in a natural pearl. Yet, as long as there are enough layers of nacre (the secreted fluid covering the irritant) to result in a beautiful, gem-quality pearl, the size of the nucleus is of no consequence to beauty or durability.

Pearls can come from either salt or freshwater sources. Typically, saltwater pearls tend to be of higher quality, although there are several types of freshwater pearls that are considered high in quality as well. Freshwater pearls tend to be very irregular in shape, with a puffed rice appearance the most prevalent. Nevertheless, it is each individual pearl's merits that determines value more than the source of the pearl.

Regardless of the method used to acquire a pearl, the process usually takes several years. Mussels must reach a mature age, which can take up to 3 years, and then be implanted or naturally receive an irritant. Once the irritant is in place, it can take up to another 3 years for the pearl to reach its full size. Often, the irritant may be rejected, the pearl will be terrifically misshapen, or the oyster may simply die from disease or countless other complications. By the end of a 5 to 10-year cycle, only 50% of the oysters will have survived.

And of the pearls produced, only approximately 5% are of substantial quality for top jewelry makers.(4) From the outset, a pearl farmer can figure on spending over $100 for every oyster that is farmed, of which many will produce nothing or die. Imitation pearls are a different story altogether. In most cases, a glass bead is dipped into a solution made from fish scales. This coating is thin and may eventually wear off. One can usually tell an imitation by biting on it. Fake pearls glide across your teeth, while the layers of nacre on real pearls feel gritty. The Island of Mallorca is known for its imitation pearl industry.

The Hidden Treasure [ Pearls ] process….includes:

• Pursuit is the proof of desire; AND the appetite for hunger and thirst

• The fear of using valuable and expensive gifts will stop us from enjoying the joy of using our expensive and valuable gifts.

• Destiny is not something we decide, but destiny is something that we discover on the road of pursuit. The pursuit of life is a desire or appetite for hunger. When we hunger for something, we go and search for it. Likewise, the hidden treasure and secrets are as such;

“ I will give you the treasures of darkness; and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that, the LORD, who call you by your name, Am the GOD of Israel. Isaiah 45:2-3

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:2-3

“ Nor will they say, ‘Lo, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.” Luke 17:21

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Matthew 5:6

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, Jeremiah 29:11-12

• The search for hidden treasures and hidden secrets leads us to the Kingdom of God; aka, our destiny.

• The revelation of Hidden Treasures transforms our lives and the lives of others…

• Our growth/change brings our dominant glory into the atmosphere, where our glory is in agreement and harmony with God’s glory. Remember, that we are to bring honor and glory to the world; but God is and will always be the “King of Glory.” 

To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17
