“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18

“It’s Friday… and Noon!” Katie said as she walked through the door from work. Holding the Butterfly container, I clearly saw 2 butterflies hanging from the top. A chrysalis hung from a stick inside, awaiting it’s turn to transform. We used to have butterflies and chrysalises around here a lot. But it’s been a long time. Her class named them for when they were born. Friday and Noon!

It all started when a parent brought the container into the school and dropped it off, thinking that it would be a good thing for kids to see. Unfortunately, the parent didn’t know that plucking them from the limbs they hung from, would prevent them from their new life. Katie, experienced at the subject of butterflies, glue-gunned the chrysalises to a stick and hung them inside the container.

I don’t really need to say more. The process of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly is incredible. Sadly, as I looked at some websites, most laid the multi-complex process as a product of evolution. Katie and I just stared at them all in wonder. I mean, how God came up with such an amazing and complex idea just hints at what the New Earth will be like when we are there with Him.

Friday and Noon hung out for the weekend, but after we got home from church today, I took one last look at the chrysalis before going back to the bedroom to change. 10 minutes later, Katie hollered out.. “HE’s HERE… I’m calling him Sunday!” I couldn’t tell if Friday and Noon were cheering at the transformation. But we were. I’m not sure how Katie knew it was a boy!

‘While I cannot explain transformation, I can testify to its reality. God came to me, I received Him, and my life has been in a transformation ever since. I KNOW Him.. PERSONALLY.. And I KNOW what He is doing as I contemplate His work in me. He is making me to look like His Son… with ever increasing Glory. What a joy it is to be a miracle of God. Are YOU being changed too?
