The God Bead

The Gold bead of the Pearls of Life is the largest and most beautiful ~ it is the God bead.

As you pray, hold this bead in your fingers, and turn your thoughts to God. Who is God to you…how do you relate to Him, what does He mean to you? Are you in awe, a little afraid perhaps, or do you feel comfortable in contemplating the Father. Is He close? Far away and distant? Do you sense His presence, or His words whispered to your heart?

God begins the prayer of the Pearls of Life. Whether you pray the Lord’s prayer; whether you pray to God the Father, Son or Holy Spirit; whether you pray in heatfelt words of your own, or simply in tears, sighs or silence ~ He is with you. His presence is a real as the bead you hold between your finger and thumb. Allow the physical sensation to ground you in the love of the Father, and rest awhile with Him.
