The caterpillar is proof that through the stages of life something beautiful takes place and happens….it all begins in the stage of the egg…and as for us it is the stage of the seed….the egg gets planted so to speak on the plants, ours gets planted in our hearts….and it goes through this process in which it becomes the caterpillar…and it grows, and it grow, the same with us we all begin to grow in our walks with the Lord…but than comes this stage that’s not so fun, and can be very dark and lonely for this caterpillar which is known as the transition stage of it’s life, and during this time the pupa gets suspended under a branch, or some leaves and even some get buried underground, and it looks like with that natural eye that nothing is happening for that poor little caterpillar, it looks like a complete mess for him, and for some they feel sorry for the little guy….but if they could only see what’s taking place on the inside, it is growing it’s wings, legs and it’s eyes, in which when this process is over, it will become a beautiful and glorious butterfly….the same with us..if only we could see what is happening on the inside of us, sure we go through these times in which all looks like it’s at a stand still, that nothing is changing in our life, that nothing is happening on the outside, but guys rest assured that if you are a child of God and your praying and trusting in Jesus…than you are growing and you are going through these stages in which you are becoming this beautiful person in which God is making for you to be…it is through the stages of this transition that we learn who we are…we learn how to lean….we learn how to trust and let go and to let God….if we never did have a problem than how would any of us know that God can solve them, and how would we know what faith in God can do….but as the song goes, through it all. yes through it all, we have learned to trust in Jesus, we have learned to trust in God….through it all yes through it all we have learned to depend upon Gods word…so just know that where you are is not where your going to be….God is taking you and going to take you places you could never imagine..Ephesians 3:20….He has a mighty good plan for you and your life..Jeremiah 29:11…so let us be content with where we are, trusting that it is not where were going to be…for everything changes…but more importantly we are changing…for we are not what we use to be, for we have been changed…and daily were being changed…and that is the beautiful thing of it all….for when others looks upon us they don’t see us, but they see Christ Jesus living on the inside of us..each of us…In Jesus’ name…Amen and Amen!! Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
