Today I am going to FLY out of my COCOON.
But it is hard to say goodbye,
for I have a love hate relationship with it.
The hate part
is that it feels like ISOLATION,
as I have been with my THREE persons~
me, myself, and I.
But the LOVE part
is that I invited
the other
THREE PERSONS
into my cocoon,
who takes the "I" out of ISOLATION,
and puts it
In HIM,
which CHANGES everything,
because it is you who HE CHANGES.
For watch out when
GOD,
JESUS,
and
THE HOLY SPIRIT
FLY into your COCOON,
you do grow WINGS.
For GOD does HIS best work in the dark,
because it is where
HIS LIGHT
beams so bright,
because there is
NO ONE else in the room.
Well I am prepared to FLY today.
I have my RAG DOLL.
I have all my PROPS.
I have all my DECORATIONS.
I have all my FOLDERS.
I have all my SLIDES.
But it really has nothing to do with
ALL of these
external things,
as they are just extras
that have bursted from an overwhelmed
HEART
that has been sitting in a COCOON
with
JESUS~
THE BABY,
THE SHEPHERD,
THE RISEN CHRIST~
who took a walk from the CRADLE TO THE CROSS.
Really think about this down to your core,
and you will never be the same.
As I sit in the darkness of my COCOON,
it is where I grow WINGS.
One wing is
HOPE,
WHO came SWADDLED as a
BABY in a manger.
One wing is
PEACE,
WHO came dressed as a SHEPHERD.
But not just an ordinary SHEPHERD,
but a GOOD SHEPHERD.
For how GOOD is GOOD.
Actually
BETTER than GOOD,
IMMEASURABLY MORE
if that is all possible.
But
NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE
with GOD.
For THIS SHEPHERD has lead me to
STILL WATERS
that
quench my thirst with
the PEACE THAT TRANSCEND ALL UNDERSTANDING.
One wing is
JOY,
an EVERLASTING JOY
which means just that~
EVERLASTING,
NEVER ENDING,
FOREVER.
All because of the wing of
LOVE,
but not just a mushy gushy kind of LOVE,
but a LOVE
that LOVES IMMEASURABLY MORE.
For THIS LOVE
SWADDLED JESUS on a CROSS,
with HIS ARMS outstretched
that screams
I LOVE YOU!
And this I LOVE YOU
is drenching me with TEARS right now,
because it this
LOVE that has RELEASED me
from
HOPELESSNESS,
PEACELESSNESS
and JOYLESSNESS,
because it was in
my COCOON
of
HOPELESSNESS
PEACELESSNESS
and JOYLESSNESS,
where I met
HIS LOVE.
So today I will
FLY
with women who I know and
women who I will meet for the very
first time,
and oh it will be a PARTY.
Because when TWO or MORE are gathered,
and the TWO or MORE
are not my three persons,
but a
GOD,
JESUS,
and the HOLY SPIRIT,
you never know what is going to happen.
But oh how GOD does.
Are you ready to FLY?
Be a BUTTERFLY,
and use your wings,
because then you will FLY HIGHER
than you could ever imagine,
for
HIS HOPE,
HIS PEACE,
HIS JOY
and LOVE
will be your GUIDE.
And when you
KNOW
that
REAL HOPE,
REAL PEACE,
REAL JOY,
and
REAL LOVE
is
JESUS,
you feel light as a feather,
because
HE takes all your burdens
as a GIFT.
“HE must increase, but I must decrease"
(John 3:30).
I pray that you experience
A FRESH START
and
LIVE ANEW
because of
THE HOPE
that
THE BABY BIRTHED
and
THE JOY
that was BIRTHED
from the RISEN CHRIST
and
THE LOVE
that takes you into
FOREVER
with
THE PEACE
that
leads you to
STILL WATERS
because
WHO IS THIS BABY?
HE IS
"THE SHEPHERD BOY"
