“Do not… cast your pearls before swine.” — Matthew 7:6 🐖
Some things are simply too precious to continually place in hands that refuse to recognize their worth.
Your peace. Your heart. Your God-given gifts. Your time. Your testimony.
And the wisdom God has grown in you.
Jesus wasn’t telling us to stop loving people.
He was teaching us discernment.
There is a difference between loving someone and continually handing them access to what is sacred.
Pearls are formed through irritation..
layer upon layer, something beautiful develops from something that once caused discomfort. Maybe that’s why this verse feels especially powerful.
God can take what hurt and grow something precious from it.
And when He does, you don’t have to keep casting that pearl back into the very places that trample it.
Love generously. Forgive freely. Walk humbly. But guard what God has entrusted to you with wisdom.
Know the worth of your pearls.
Above all, keep your eyes on the Cross.
God is the ultimate Designer.
