Over the next five weeks I want to share with you about our spiritual metamorphosis. I want to explain how we can move forward from just knowing God to really knowing God; then from that point on to duplication of the process in others.

If I were to give a definition of spiritual metamorphosis it would be as follows: “A striking change of one’s spiritual life after his/her spiritual rebirth.”

By the way, after a few days in her cocoon Gloria did just as Miss Black had informed us would happen. Gloria began to molt her encasement and slowly she broke forth from her temporary tomb into a new, beautiful form. She was so gorgeous with all her wonderful colors. We could definitely see the drastic transformation that had taken place in her life.

Once able to fly well, she lifted herself from the old stick in the corner of her habitat and stretched her wings to fly. She fluttered above our heads for a few moments and then made her way to an open window to the right side of our room. She now was free to fly around the earth taking in the sweet nectar of all the flowers beneath her.

There is coming a day when we too will break forth from our old life of sin and soar as on wings of eagles. We will fly about being lifted by the winds of the Holy Spirit to soaring heights of spiritual satisfaction and partake of the sweetness of God’s love toward us. We will never tire. We will run the rat race of life and never grow weary. We will walk the spiritual walk with Jesus, the Christ, and never faint from exhaustion. Then will come the day when we will continue to fly from this present environment into the eternal halls of heaven.

Amen and amen!
