Our life can be compared to a caterpillar in a cocoon. Until we learn how to embed ourselves in the Word of God in seeking the Truth which teaches us how to fly, our lives are often dark and empty on the inside. Do you feel trapped? Does your life seem dark and dreary? Do you look forward to everyday that you are given? Are you excited when you open up the Word of God or when you hear someone speaking of the Lord? Does the cocoon you live in feel like it is collapsing due to the pressure that is all around? Or, is there peace in your spirit and in your home?
It is in our human nature to build our own comfort zones and forget how to fly in this dark world. This can happen easily when we become so wrapped up in our own shell that we forget how to look within ourselves for God to develop the wings that He wants us to grow. If you are feeling uncomfortable in your life or around someone that may be on your last nerve praise God rather than getting stuck in what you think that you see. Who has ever experienced some personal growth without some birth pains?
If you are feeling trapped, pressured or simply uncomfortable seek God for what it is that He is wanting you to find within yourself rather than worrying about it with others. For there is a great peace in our home when we learn how to live in the Lord rather in this dark lonely world…
