Have you ever felt as if your life had become liquified, messy, utterly unrecognizable. It's when disaster feels like too polite a word. When everything you thought you knew dissolves into a thick, swirling dread. But even in that swirling, soupy chaos, something miraculous is happening. Renewal isn't just on the way; it's already at work. And I am there, right in the thick of it, stirring the pot.
The righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all (Psalm 34:19). Note, it says ALL. It's not just a nice sentiment; it's a promise I keep.
Think about the butterfly; that incredible, impossible transformation. It’s a perfect picture of what I do. The caterpillar doesn't just sprout wings; it goes through a radical, almost violent, breakdown. It actually becomes a liquified worm. But within that “caterpillar soup,” there are a few remaining particles, core pieces that refuse to be destroyed. These particles become wings, eyes, and antennae. And that's the truth about you too. No matter how devastating your circumstances, the essence of who you are—the core of you—the part of you that is one with My Holy Spirit—is indestructible. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
That's where the hope lies. Even in the deepest, darkest moments, a new beginning is in the works. It’s not about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. It's about aligning your actions with Mine. It's about letting Me, the Master Creator, do what seems impossible. Just like the caterpillar doesn't work itself into a butterfly, you don't have to force your transformation. You simply surrender, trust, and allow Me to work. How do you do that? You listen. You soak in the words of My Word. You learn to be still and hear My voice. You let Me guide you, shape you, and transform you.
Remember, that liquified worm had no clue what was coming. She just trusted. And look what happened. You might feel like you're in the middle of your own "caterpillar soup" right now, but trust Me, wings are on the way. You are not defined by your circumstance. In those moments when everything seems lost and your troubles seem insurmountable, remember that transformation is not only possible but is actively taking place.
With love beyond measure,
