The process of metaphoris is meant to form one thing -a butterfly. It is a process that takes several days and its original state looks NOTHING like its last state. (View this video that I referred to earlier this week).
This is why the process of metaphoris is such a wonderful picture of a believer. God does not redeem us to keep us the way we are. He converts us with an "end" in mind.
I John 3:1-2 "Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him..."
Romans 8:29 "...He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,..."
We are saved to become like our Saviour. I would say, there is a butterfly inside of you!!!!!
But it is a process. It does not happen immediately nor quickly. Three-steps forward, two-steps back. But it is progress.
Don't get discouraged...instead let look long enough to see progress is being made. No you have not arrived..beautiful, multi-colored wings have not emerged. But they are coming.
One other quick word...for this process to move properly through to its desired end, there will be many "breakings." The shell must be broken, the skin must be shed. These may be painful, but they are necessary.
God is able to use the breaking times of our life to mold us into His ultimate perfect image.
Blessings to you.......
For this process to happening, there must be a breaking. The butterfly must “break through” the shell to be released and Jesus inside of us will only be seen by others as we go through a breaking.
