Guilty Blood Quotes

“She felt like an oyster. Specifically, she felt like the oyster in a parable told by the speaker at her church’s women’s retreat a few years ago. The speaker had said that we should all treat our cares and worries the way an oyster treats a grain of sand. We should cover them with layers of prayer. Not just once or twice, but hundreds—even thousands—of times. If we keep at it long enough, that painful object in our soul will eventually turn into a beautiful pearl. And the larger and more jagged the object, the bigger and more beautiful the pearl it would ultimately become.”
― Rick Acker, Guilty Blood
