STRUGGLING IN THE CHRYSALIS OF FAITH

 OUT OF THE 20 OR SO CAMERAS AT THIS SAME LOCATION NO ONE CAPTURED THE HEART...I WAS AMAZED AND SO WERE THEY...I HAVE TAKEN APPROX 10 OTHER PICS WITH THE HEART IN THE PHOTO...SOME SAY IT IS MY LENSE IS FAULTY...MY FAITH SOARS WHEN I LOOK AT THESE PICS...IF THAT IS THE HEART OF GOD I AM TRUELY BLESSED...WHY DO NON- BELIEVERS ALWAYS LOOK FOR A REASON FOR GODS LOVE ?...

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE AND HAVE COMPLETE FAITH IN GOD ?...YOU CAN SEE HIS WORK EVERYWHERE...WHEN WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH US IT IS STILL VERY DIFFICULT TO STAY FOCUSED ON OUR SALVATION...THE DEVIL IS A "NOW" AND DECEITFUL BEING WHO HAS TRICKED THE WORLD MANY TIMES IN MANY WAYS...HE KNOWS HE IS DEFEATED...TAKING AS MANY PEOPLE DOWN WITH HIM IS HIS LAST DITCH EFFORT TO THWART GOD...THE DEVIL WILL NEVER EVER BE IN THE GLORY OF GOD HE IS FOREVER BANISHED FROM GODS LOVE AND MERCY...

THESE ARE EASY WORDS TO SAY...THEY ALSO REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FAITH IN JESUS AND HIS FATHER GOD...TRUE CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO FILL THE GAP AND STAND STRONG IN THE FACE OF DEMONIC ATTACK (LIES, DECEIT, AND FEAR OF HARM)...WE ARE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE THAT WILL NOT FALTER AND STAND FOR GOD AND THE TRUTH OF HIS WORD...JESUS IS ALWAYS WITH YOU AND READY TO AID YOU...MY CHRYSALIS IS MY SAFE PLACE WHILE I LEARN TO TRUST GOD IN EVERYTHING...AT A CHOSEN TIME I MUST BREAK FREE AND FLY WITH THE TRUTH OF GOD...IF I STAY WRAPPED UP FOR TOO LONG I WILL DIE A NON-BELIEVER...ONCE I EMERGE AS A TRUE CHILD OF GOD THERE IS NO GOING BACK TO SAFETY...THE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF RETURNING MY OPEN MIND BACK TO MY SMALL THINKING...IT WILL NOT FIT NOR SHOULD I WANT IT TOO...I FIND GREAT JOY IN WATCHING A BUTTERFLY MOVE WITH GRACE AND BEAUTY...I IN TURN WILL TRY TO SHOW OTHERS THE GOD IN ME AND LOVE AND HELP MY BROTHER WHEN I CAN...BY SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF GOD'S KINGDOM I WILL TAKE MY PLACE BESIDE JESUS AS A SPIRITUAL BEING ON A CARNAL WORLD...BAPTISM AND GOD GIVEN SPIRIT, FAITH, GRACE, OBEYING GODS LAW, WILL LEAD ME TO BE BORN AGAIN WHEN JESUS RETURNS TO CLAIM HIS RIGHT...
