Pearl of Grace

In this oyster, Mary gazes downward..

her face serene, her posture tender.

Her focus is drawn to the pearl,

nestled where life’s true treasure lies.

It’s a quiet moment, filled with reverence and love,

reminding us of the greatest pursuit we’ll ever know:

seeking and finding the heart of Jesus.

We spend so much of life chasing what glimmers on the surface…

success, comfort, approval—only to find that what truly fills us is far deeper.

And as we pause, the pearl whispers a quiet truth…

“The treasure you’re looking for isn’t out there.

It’s here, right here, where the light of the Lord shines brightest.”

This piece reflects the call to seek the treasure that is eternal.

To let go of what fades and fix our hearts on what lasts forever.

Just as Mary pondered the treasure of Christ in her heart,

so too are we invited to pause and rest in His presence,

to discover the beauty and peace that only He can bring.

The oyster reminds us that finding the Lord is not about striving…

it’s about being still, about looking in the right places,

and about allowing Him to reveal Himself in the quiet moments.
