"Soon, the caterpillars' skin splits open, from head to abdomen, revealing a shiny green case underneath - the chrysalis. What is happening in the chrysalis? Inside, the caterpillar is becoming completely liquid and reforming itself into a butterfly."
What is going on INSIDE of YOU?
"When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table. But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal. Then the Lord said to him, 'Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but INSIDE you are full of greed and wickedness. You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the INSIDE also? But now as for what is INSIDE you—be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.'" Luke 11:37-40
What is on your inside - the innermost part of you? What is going on in your heart? Is your outside reflecting the inside? Are your actions reflecting your heart? Is your heart still in a human sinful state or have you given it to Jesus, allowing Him to reform it and change it for His purposes?
Today too many of us "Christians" play the game - we play church and the "Christian" life. We are doing what we think we are supposed to do. Following rules, abiding regulations, checking off our "Christian" duties. But where is your heart? What is going on inside of you? Put your heart, soul and mind in check before Jesus today. Don't play "Christianity." Don't become a modern day "Pharisee" within the church. Truly surrender you heart before Jesus. Allow Him to transform you from the INSIDE out!
"Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I'm about; See for yourself whether I've done anything wrong—then guide me on the road to eternal life." Psalm 139:23-24
