Incomparable Worth

Jesus once told the following parable (Matthew 13:45-46):

"The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it."

I've always heard that taught as "you should be willing to give up everything to obtain 'the kingdom of God' ("salvation"); that's what it costs...and it's worth the cost."

What if...

the guy who sold everything he had in order to buy the incomparable pearl was God and you were the incomparable pearl?
