Real or Imitation... The Choice Is Yours

I love the story about the pearl necklace where the little girl's father has asked his daughter to give him her imitation pearls. But she is reluctant to do so, eventually she does and when she releases her grasp on the inferior and mediocre, she is free to accept the rare and beautiful real pearls.

Oh, how many times we clutch so hard to the inferior things of this world when God has something far greater for us. But the problem is that we can only clutch so much at a time.
And if our hand is filled up with inferiority, there is no room to clutch onto the superior.

Do we hang on to our weight, our old habits and our brokenness when we could simply let go and let GOD give us something much better... a new life in him!
