The Secret Of The Worm

Monday, January 18, 2021

What if you went up to a caterpillar and tried to tell it the truth about its life? You'd say something like: "Listen I know it looks as if you're a worm, it feels as if you're a worm, and you're pretty much living a worm's life, but you're not a worm. You're a child of a butterfly. You're not bound by earth. You're a child of the heavens." Would the caterpillar be convinced? All it's ever known is an earthbound worm's life. You're asking it to believe what it's never seen and beyond all its experience and comprehension. It's true - not only for the caterpillar, but for you! And even if your life seems to be a bit of a worm's life, or feel like a worm's life, or if you see yourself as a bit of a worm, lowly, earthbound, and crawling... - you're not a worm. If you're born again, you're no longer a child of your circumstance or bound by this world; you're a child of the Most High. So stop living earthbound. Stop crawling through your walk and start soaring. For you are a child of the Most High - a beautiful heavenly creature - and not a worm.
