Day 3 – Chrysalis

“For you have acquired new creation life which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created you; giving you the full revelation of God.” Colossians 3:10 TPT

The last “skin shedding” of the caterpillar becomes the chrysalis in which the complete metamorphosis from a crawling larva into a beautiful butterfly occurs. It may look like nothing is going on but big changes are happening within this hardened shell.

As we enter this stage of complete mind metamorphosis, we are protected by the Holy Spirit acting as our chrysalis. He guides us through the continual process of being renewed by helping us to guard against thoughts, words, and actions that might harm us in our transformation into a new creation. But the crusty old jacket that encases you serves a useful purpose. As you push against it, your wings will strengthen and mature. One day you’ll break free from the chrysalis, spread your wings and fly.

Prayer: Beautiful Creator, thank You for allowing us to be continually renewed into Christ. Thank you for a new creation life where are righteous because of the price Christ Jesus paid for us. Please guide us in the chrysalis stage of our metamorphosis to leave the old behind and embrace a new life with You. Amen.
