Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

 

Transformed… metamorphosis. This is the picture of what a caterpillar does in a cocoon. So the caterpillar spends the first part of its life just eating… that’s its job. Then it flips itself upside down and buries itself in a dark cave by its own actions. then it’s whole body basically turns into goo, jelly substance, and then it reforms through transformation into a beautiful butterfly.

 

What a picture of many of our lives. We are young and stupid and arrogant or maybe just naive. And we just let our appetites take over. At some point our life is turned upside down… our own doing just like the caterpillar. Then in our own actions we bury ourselves in a dark place… and life seems to just simply fall apart… it just turns into a mess. but in that darkness it is possible to transform.

 

3 things about transformation:

 

  - 1 it is not just in actions alone. We must be transformed in our minds. Telling oneself “I will never do that again” is not enough. We must think it until it becomes a part of our thought pattern. 

 

  - 2 We can’t always see the transformation… but don’t quit the process. The Caterpillar is in a dark spot, he can’t see the process taking place, he only feels discomfort and loneliness. Same goes for you. You probably will not see the transformation until it is almost complete… or maybe until someone points it out to you. And remember God is in that darkness with you, he is the one transforming you.

 

  -  3  Even after the transformation the butterfly still has to squeeze out of the cocoon shell in order to flush its wings with blood so it can fly. Look you may be transformed but it does not mean you still won’t go through some hard times… and that will only make what you have become that much more beautiful and create in you even more abilities. No one wants to be transformed simply to look pretty, we want to fly! 

As you seek transformation as God… what do you have for me to do for you in this new state of mind. How can I now best serve you in the hard times and the good times.
