Transcendental Transformation: Part 2

Hope for Our Living

As with the transformation of the caterpillar into a butterfly, humans also go through stages of being transformed by God.  As we move through our lives God is with us & promises us new life. When we believe & live into that promise we are transformed & new life is given.

Whether we are inside a chrysalis of life being transformed, or have emerged & are clinging to the empty chrysalis pumping our wings preparing to fly, we can rest in the fact that regardless of our circumstances, as we walk with our Creator, we most assuredly will receive new transformed life that transcends all understanding.

“The Hymn of Promise”

In the bulb there is a flower;

in the seed, an apple tree;

In cocoons, a hidden promise; butterflies will soon be free!

In the cold & snow of winter

there’s a spring that waits to be.

Unrevealed until its season,

something God alone can see.

There’s a song in every silence, seeking words & melody:

There’s a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you & me.

From the past will come the future; what it holds a mystery,

Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

In our end is our beginning;

in our time, infinity;

In our doubt there is believing;

in our life, eternity.

In our death, a resurrection;

At the last, a victory.

Unrevealed until its season,

Something God alone can see.
