Have you ever wondered what caterpillars think about??
For all its life a caterpillar crawls around patches of dirt and up and down a few plants. Then one day it takes a nap, a very long nap, only to wake up and discover it has wings and can fly. What happened to its dirty little plump worm body? What does it think when its sees its new body and gorgeous wings?
As believers, we ought to experience this same kind of astonishment when the Holy Spirit enters our bodies. We should be stunned in disbelief over becoming a “new creation” with the Spirit living in us. As the caterpillar finds its new ability to fly, we should be thrilled over our Spirit-empowered ability to live differently and faithfully.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (New International Version)
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”
I want to live so that I am truly submitted to the Spirits leading in my life on a daily basis. My prayer for you is that you realize this and want this for your life also.
I don’t want us to keep crawling when we have the ability to fly!
