Pearls Before Swine

Hi!

It's probably going to be a short post but I wanted to talk a little bit more about Easter.

I watched the ending of The Bible Miniseries about Paul.  Out of all of the people in the Bible, He has to be my favourite person from the Bible. A man who was religious and killed Christians then became a missionary and wrote the majority of the New Testament.

It showed Paul quoting 1st Corinthians and it was beautiful.

I have been thinking lately of things I use to care about. Mom use to tell me "Pearls Before Swine" (Matthew 7:6) when I was working at a restaurant and the one co-worker was really rude to me for no reason, mom would quote that.

People have said it means if the audience is not welcoming or being close minded, then basically ignore them. Focus on more important things.

It's vague and confusing but think about Swine and Pearls. Pigs; very dirty creatures who are stinky and eat horribly. Pearls, something beautiful, something not to be trampled upon.

I have been through places and spaces in life where I had to do the Pearls before Swine. I have had to let go completely and learned to not care what other people think.

I am soon going to learn how to become a more mature person; some who is the proof of His Love; of how He works in my life because, He has!

I have a busy week ahead with getting ready for school but I am excited and wondering where the time has gone?!

Okay, Goodnight!

-Faith.
