"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
The other half of the story. Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, Emmanuel-God with us, deliberately searched for pearls, pearls with that unique luster that only a very fine pearl possesses. And He chose me, sin encrusted me, as an object of His love and effort. He left the Father's side to lift me out of the muck and mire, bringing me into the Family of God as a fully accredited son. (1 John 3:1)
Yes, He sees me as a pearl of great value.
