Sisters,
Happy New Month dearest, May this month birth abundant of miracles and yield it's increase to us. I believe God that we would all operate in His unlimited grace like never before.
Today's discussion is not something we are unfamiliar with, however, we often neglect its importance to our walk with Christ.
Lets take a cue frim butterflies: Butterflies go through several stages of metamorphosis. From being an egg to being a larva then a pupa then adult. Each of these phases has it's distinct goal. For example, caterpillars eat a lot while a pupa aims at reproduction.
Let's consider the perfect example Jesus: In Matthew 3 He was baptized, Matthew 4 he was tempted by the devil after fasting for forty days and forty nights in the wilderness. All of these events was before he launched his Ministry. If the Master had to go through a process before He could progress then ours is inevitable. The joy is that we know that these processes leads to being what God wants us to be. For there is no temptation that is uncommon to man - 1Corithians 10:13
Process preceeds procession. For any product to be beneficial it must go through a process first. If you are familiar with the manufacturing industry you would observe that work-in-progress/finished material could be raw material for another product. So, even when it appears we've been forgotten, we are not because the goal of being in that state could be to be a 'material" in another's processing phase.
We must recognise this in our various journeys, that there is a time to build. This is so we do not miss out of the very reasons why we are undergoing the process.
Also, we must know that every precious stone has it's unique refining process. Stop comparing or measuring your process to another's. It would only limit us and prevent us from bring fully equipped for purpose. And while we 'wait' in that process, let us continue to behold His glory - 2Corithians3:18.
The amazing thing about process is that it cannot be 'jumped'. We all must go through our individual process regardless of the continent/country we are in. Processes are not location based, they are purpose based.
Embrace your present process and seek God to reveal the purpose for the process you're currently in. Often times, what we go through isn't for us, it's for others. No product or tree uses itself, it's for the benefit of others.
There is a purpose in that process, don't neglect it.
Loads of love,
Your Sis
