A Pearl For Jesus

James 1:4

But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing.

Lord, help me take the irritations
that are bound to come each day,
and let patience have it’s perfect work
as you’re teaching me your way.

As an oyster wraps a bit of sand
that would bring great harm to him-
that covering turns it into pearl-
a rare and precious gem.

So, let me take each irritation
as an opportunity,
to make a pearl for Jesus,
by covering it with charity.
