Metamorphosis

The transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly is a slow but effective process.

It is in the daily crucifixion of the flesh, the hourly fixing our eyes on him, the every-minute reliance on the Father of heavenly lights, that we are transformed. Here’s to metamorphosis together!
