Delicately, intricately, and curiously wrought, from early development stages; to exquisite, colour-rich, God-inspired creatures that flutter and graciously land on fragrant flowers in majestic bloom: These are beautiful butterflies in blossom.
But they endure a journey of metamorphosis to arrive at freedom.
“What does that have to do with me?” you ask. It is a question that needs an answer
Barely coping with life until Jesus comes to rescue you to be born-again by the Spirit of God: Life becomes beautiful, as His life is formed within you...
Extremely glad that He has found you and has you set free you from your pit, and
your destiny of everlasting destruction without Him; eager to learn and to follow His ways: Eternity-focused in all that you do.
Amazingly transformed by the Power of His Love, living a life of in abundant adoration, absolutely engulfed by the passion and purpose of finding Him in every thing you do, and in every person that you meet: Longing to walk in Agape love.
United with The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, uninhibited by life’s worries; living life always under the Unction of the Holy Spirit: Understanding His plan and purpose for your very existence.
Thankful always for His beauty and refuge under the shadow and shelter of The Almighty’s wings. Tenderly singing and calling His Name, always trying to please Him with everything within you. Through time, taking on His Nature. Being transformed daily by the renewing of your mind .Thoughts of The Lord always at the forefront of your life .Leaving a trail of goodness and mercy wherever you have been, treading in the footsteps of Jesus, His steps and yours becoming One as you are tightly entwined by His Love and Grace. The Cross of Christ always in remembrance, and what He did for you.
Inspired to “run the race,” with hope, pressing on to the high call of God in Christ Jesus. Longing to have more of The Lord Jesus’ nature imparted to your life that you may walk in Love and in deep fellowship and communion with Him and others. Intimately acquainted with His ways, and always willing to inspire others to be just like Jesus.
Falling to your knees at every opportunity to worship and adore Him, finding Him in every area of your life. Feeling His Presence in Your life as you seek to free yourself from the cares of this world. Enjoying the fragrance of freshly mown grass, and smelling the fragrance of vibrant flowers in bloom; faces turned upward to adore their creator.
Under every circumstance praying, waiting, and worshiping; giving thanks for all things, fellowshipping with The Lord, trying to understand His Unique ways, and following the undulating pathway of Grace through your life until you reach eternity’s gates… joy and strength and the Fruit of The Spirit being formed through every test, and trial and God-allowed circumstance.
Learning all about the more excellent way - “love,” in every day of your life, laughing, loving, living, listening, lolling around, relaxing, and leaning; not on your own understanding, but more and more on His, and enjoying life to the full.
BEAUTIFUL... that is what you are to Him - Your Creator, Your Saviour, Your Redeemer… just like that intricately designed butterfly who had to endure formation, wrapped in a cocoon, going through metamorphosis, finally soaring free, resplendent in beauteous colour, allowed to fly high and free on the breeze…. Moulded and made by The Lord… All of His creation is beautiful… just like you, a beautiful butterfly in blossom.
Amplified Bible:- Psalm139:13-18
For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are your works, and that my inner self knows right well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret (and) intricately and curiously wrought (as if embroidered with various colours) in the depths of the earth ( a region of darkness and mystery.) Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days (of my life) were written before ever they took shape when as yet there were none of them.
