Cocoons

In the nightmare of my dissolving life five years ago, sitting in the rubble of my broken heart. Divorce and massive debt, the darkness of despair seemed to shroud the light of any hope in my life.  Into this hellish darkness, Jesus began to speak to my traumatized heart. He gave me a flash vision of a 'cocoon'. This 'lighted vision' along with His living words began to awaken me to new hope.

A hugging whisper, "Do not be dismayed that you are still confined in your death. I design cocoons to break open to manifest My divine design, My handiwork. You are the work of My hand and I am faithful to complete the work I have begun within you. Steady your heart and trust Me. Seasons of manifest beauty and flight await you. Timing is securely in My hands."

Sometimes what we really need is simply a 'new vision' to give us 'real hope'.  Rejoice in the 'New Life' God is creating 'in you'.

Isaiah 48:10 ... Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.


2 Corinthians 5:17 ... Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.


Matthew 9:17 ... Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
