Your current situation is not your final destination. I heard these words several times. I read these words several times. I’m not sure when I first heard or read it but it stayed with me. At some point I began to think that this was a message to me from God.
Your current situation is not your final destination no matter how comfortable it may feel. No matter how happy you may be in it. It’s not your final destination no matter how painful it may feel. No matter how lonely or lost you may feel. There is more that must be experienced. There is more that is required of me, of us. There are situations that we may find ourselves in which will test our resolve.
The butterfly struggles to make its way out of the cocoon and that struggles causes it to beat itself against that cocoon so that its wings can develop. It may be a struggle and it could be painful but it is necessary for that butterfly to go through it to reach its next level. Once those wings are formed and strengthened, it can fly. the freedom that comes with that growth is not visible when you see the beginning stages but it’s a part of the process.
We must struggle at times and go through some things that will cause us pain so that we are able to grow to our next level. The freedom and growth that waits on the other side is not always visible when we begin our journey. Sometimes the challenges are so large that we become overwhelmed. As we fight through our challenges we get stronger. We grow bigger. We begin to see the big picture. We become better than we ever thought that we could be.
