Transformation


"...in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth."  -Ephesians 4:22-24

The butterfly begins its life as a caterpillar and then is transformed into a beautiful creature such as above.   This is an apropos metaphor of what happens to us once we receive the Holy Spirit.  Our old self-centered ways are transformed and we become beautiful in Christ---filled with His love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

I am grateful for the transforming love of Christ!
