The Butterfly Sign

  Perhaps as the day progressed you thought you knew what the day had in store for you.                 Think again, in fact we rarely even have a clue as to what the world will unfold in front of us. In the midst of anguish and heartache God can do so much with a broken heart and a weary soul. Are you willing to just simply be present and wait on God, can you? Could you just consider showing up and being fully present?
                    I surmise that in fact we rarely even think about what all God has running in the background. What if, what is in the background is really what matters the most? Can you for a moment contemplate the possibility that in places and ways that we cannot possibly know or understand that there is a whole world being orchestrated on our behalf?   What if the entire cycle of a butterfly has nothing to do with the transformation but rather its willingness to build the cocoon and that the transformation is the bonus for obedience. That having spent it's life crawling on the ground through obedience it now is given the ability to fly. To go from being unnoticed to being admired and loved.
  What is it that has you crawling around on your belly? What are you begging for? What are you crawling away from in shame? What if you were willing to just for a moment completely yield your thoughts emotions and actions to God? Can you trust the Lord to build a cocoon around you and keep you safe while you heal and become the very thing your were called to be all along?
  I was recently a given a gift of renewal. Someone who chose to be fully present spoke up and into my life, their words rang so deep into my soul that the echo across my heart resonated to the depths of the beginning of who I am and who I was meant to be.
  Sometimes in life we need a brakeman on the job, a watchman on tower. God is always running something in the background. The flight of the butterfly is the beginning, middle and the end. You see it is two creatures with but one life. We as well are two creatures a spirit man and a soul man. We must choose to live one life in Christ.
