There is a reason why God made it not possible for us to observe with the naked eye what goes on inside a cocoon of a caterpillar ready to metamorph. There is a transformation going on where the caterpillar liquifies and probably not a appetizing sight to witness into the beautiful butterfly. (Sort of like when the Holy Spirit does emotional surgery on our spiritual heart, at times it is not a pretty sight and is a private healing between the Spirit and the individual.)
There is a precise time frame for the transformation of the caterpillar into the butterfly where it is a struggle but one that ‘must not’ be tampered with, unless we end up killing the caterpillar in its process to freedom.
Same goes with there is a precise time frame for each of us in our healing to freedom. We cannot rush the process nor tamper. Even though our transformation may take years longer to morph than an average butterfly.... it will be certainly worth the wait in the end.
Hi JBR,
ReplyDeleteNice post! Sometimes I want to rush through the transforming process, but God knows what He is doing.
Blessings,
Ken

ReplyDeleteThat's right JBR, there is a reason for all the trials we go through on this earth,every day in our lives is written in His book before even one of them was formed. We each have to be transformed through the word of God, Jesus.
ReplyDeleteperfect analogy! it takes time, each to their own, but emerge we will, whole and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBlessings for you JBR
ReplyDeleteThank you, I think I needed to read this today for encouragement. I feel stuck in my healing but just need to have patience and hold on to God's promise of recovery. Blessings
ReplyDeleteIt's true we can't rush the process. Patience is difficult sometimes but necessary.
ReplyDeleteAmen, so true.
