I had the opportunity to go
to Frederic Meijer Garden
“I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works,
and that my soul knows very well.” Psalms 139:14
and that my soul knows very well.” Psalms 139:14
If I am truly honest… I dislike
the transformation process! I am
realizing my disdain for it has more to do with my stubbornness than it has to
do with God’s work. My selfishness, my humanness,
can be satisfied, to a certain extent; just being what I am… transformation is
painful!
Like the caterpillar, God
lets it know when it is time to start the metamorphosis into what He has called
it to… a thing of beauty… a butterfly! I
am almost positive the caterpillar does not argue with God about it or try to
make a deal to be left alone… it knows that it is created for greater things!
(Romans 9:20) How about us? Does the pain of transformation stop us from
being made, slowly but surely, into God’s beautiful creature?
“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a
mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from
glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2
Corinthians 3:18
What is God working on in
your life? Are you moving forward with an
open and willing heart to His leading? Or are you refusing to get into the cocoon?
Yes, God loves every one of us as “caterpillars”
but He loves us so much He cannot wait to transform us into His beautiful
creature, one step at a time. Remember… You
are not called to be a caterpillar!
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:10
Rejoicing in Truth!
