"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly."
– Richard Bach

I have lost count of the times in my life that I have felt like a caterpillar, where circumstances have so overwhelmed me that, for me, it has felt like the ‘end of the world’.

But I have also come to realize how true the above quote is, as often in the worst of times God is doing the greatest works in our life. Transformation is not easy as we tend to resist, and sometimes it seems that God takes us out of the old and into the new ‘kicking and screaming’. How much easier it would be if we could just learn to rest and yield more quickly to His faithfulness. He has promised never leave of forsake us and to bring us through the valleys of despair into His glory.

Today you may feel like a caterpillar being squeezed out of its skin, but God is changing you into a beautiful butterfly.

Let go ---- LIVE ‘IN CHRIST’, not crisis!

Stay fervently focused,

Much love

Chrissy
