"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:18
I wonder, does the little, helpless caterpillar have any idea what is in store for him/her?
Does it realize each bite it takes in life, good or bad, is feeding and helping it to move into the next stage of life? And the exact time and number of bites required might vary from others?
Does the caterpillar know it will break down entirely on a cellular level, and reorganize itself into a new form, a chrysalis? I wonder what it thinks? Is it comfortable in its dark, tight space? Is it happy or frustrated with its condition? Does it realize the best is yet to come and worth the wait?
And does it know at the perfect time, at its full transformation, a beautiful butterfly emerges taking to the air on new wings? New being, new life, new beginning, new JOY?
Father, as Your child, like the butterfly, we are under a transformation. Help us to remember with each stage of growth, You are doing a mighty work in us spreading and infusing Your life into our soul and every part of our being. To become more like You is worth any and all our various stages. May we soar with JOY as we share You to all in our path.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
veneal
