When God is about to do a new thing in our lives, a divine shift is about to happen. Usually He will tell us to let go of certain mindsets, certain baggage from the past, disappointments, hurts or bitterness. Sometimes we even have to close some doors behind us before we see the doors open in front of us. Transition is such an uncomfortable time. Not only do you have to let go of what is comfortable, you have to take a step to walk into the River Jordan before the water subsides.
Sometimes we are stuck in that bondage or stronghold for such a long time that we don't even want to be liberated from it. We can get so used to darkness and reject the light totally. So when God comes and tell you that you have circled this mountain long enough, it is time to move on, then you better move on. Know that the transition is only temporary. Just press through the uncertainty and very soon you will find yourself crossing over to the new place and settling into a new season. Everything will be worth it.
Do you remember the butterfly which emerged from its cocoon. I didn't show you the video of it coming out back then. But now I felt impressed to share. You will find it surprising that even the butterfly couldn't let go of its cocoon. Perhaps it was scared and the cocoon was the only thing that gave it security. It didn't know it has become a beautiful butterfly and now can fly. It probably is still trapped in the mindset of a crawling caterpillar. I learnt that it will take hours for the butterfly's wings to be dry and strengthened before it can fly. It wasn't something immediate. But just give it some time and it will surely take flight.
How about you? The metamorphosis is complete. It's time to spread your wings and fly!
