The Chrysalis Factor

Transformation - we hear so much about that today. We all know about the transformation that happens when we come to Christ: sin to righteousness, darkness to light, etc... But are continuing to become more and more like Jesus? W.W.J.D. is a great idea, but isn't it more than the marketing?
The Chrysalis Factor: Before it becomes a butterfly, a caterpillar goes through a growth stage called a "chrysalis." On the surface it may not look like much is happening, but the delicate chrysalis process changes the fuzzy caterpillar into an awesome butterfly with wings of intricate designs and intense colors. The chrysalis process symbolizes how Christ can transform you into something beyond your dreams. It happens when you grow beyond yourself, opening your life to Jesus' power and love.
I've been asking God for MORE lately! Asking God to grant dreams and visions to His people, so that we will continue to reach for something greater than where we are! I know that it might sound like such a simple request, but I believe it to be the heart of God. That's why Christ came, to restore everything that was lost in Eden - fellowship with God. Maybe we are all in our own little cocoon right now waiting for the breakout! If that is the case, then "even so come quickly Lord Jesus".



"In The Process",
