POSITIVE BUTTERFLIES
FOR A POSITIVE LIFE |
|
Caterpillars,
cocoons, and butterflies teach me about life. Too many people are
caterpillars, munching their way through life in a never changing
existence. They think that they are supposed to be caterpillars
for their whole life. Another group goes through the caterpillar
stage into the cocoon stage and remains there forever. They slip
into an unconscious state and sleep away their remaining days. A
few people wake up, break out of the cocoon, and emerge as butterflies.
Their life is full of brilliant colors and they soar on the updrafts of
God's love after they spread their wings and fly. What's it going
to be for you? Caterpillar, cocoon, or butterfly? |

THERE IS NO
LIMIT TO HOW GOOD MY LIFE CAN BECOME
When I hear people talk about God's plan for their life, there's
frequently a feeling of apprehension embedded in the discussion.
The unspoken fear is that God wants to make you do something that
you don't want to do, and He has a plan to send you to some obscure
part of the planet. You're sure that if you follow His plan, you'll
end up in Bongo Congo doing things that you don't want to do. They
regard God as the Omnipresent Killjoy bent on ruining their life.
I'm not sure why people are so apprehensive. God never did anything
to make people feel that way. If you ever end up in Bongo Congo, it
will be because that's where you wanted to go. God can use you
anywhere, even in Bongo Congo.
God doesn't do bad things to people. People do bad things to
people.
God has a dream for your life that is better than anything you can
imagine. And you don't have to twist God's arm to make that dream
come true. God wants it to happen even more than you do. God needs
people like you and me, and He needs all of your talents and
abilities. You don't need to grovel and scrape before God. You are
one of his children, and the reason He gave you those talents and
abilities is because He is going to use them to bless His world.
God's arms of love are your arms. God's heart of love is your
heart. God's voice of love is your voice. God songs of love are
the songs that you write and sing.
You don't need to worry about whether God has a plan for your life.
All you need to do is get in agreement with Him and start living the
plan. Jesus said seek and you will find, ask and it will be given
to you, knock and the door will be opened. God isn't holding
anything back. The problem isn't him. The problem is us.
God wants to use us in a big way. He wants us to live large for his
kingdom. You only get one life, and God wants to make it into a
great one.
