If God doesn’t build the house, the builders only build shacks. Psalms 127 MSG
Metamorphosis
"Beware of returning to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been." Oswald Chambers
How often will people tell me, "I used to have such a great relationship with God".
That is like a chrysalis saying, "I wish I were a larva again"!
Well, by His grace, He wants more for you.
A more incredible beauty awaits.
Not going back and building on what you thought you had, but building on Him and nothing else.
It is not by our effort but by our surrender to His love that reveals His beauty.
His beauty for you is much greater than anything you could create.
You and I dream of being pretty larvae, and His dreams for us are beautiful butterflies!
In what ways have you looked back and longed for another day, thinking that going backward will lead you forward?
Lord, thank You for every step I have taken that You have used to lead me here with You. May I not look backward but know You are always present and living in me now. Amen
