A Sweet, Sweet Revelation

Aug 23, 2007 09:03


So, a couple of weeks ago I described myself as being in a terrarium. (It was a facebook note.  NEver got so far as LJ, haha)  Anyway, point is that image is not so accurate.

After having some time to reflect on what has been going on, God showed me that I'm NOT stuck in a terrarium that is growing too small.  I am planted in the outdoors, with all the space in His world to grow.

What I'm feeling is the actual growing. I'm stretching, bending, pulling--and experiencing the growing pains associated with it.  I'm feeling the old nature dying--and the new nature coming to life.

Is it groundbreaking? Maybe not.  But it's a relief to know the true source of the angst--and that I don't necessarily need to *do* anything to resolve it.  It's just a part of the maturing process.

What an amazing Abba!
