Just as there are four stages in the development in a butterfly, there are four complex stages of maturity in Me. First stage in your life is at the moment of conception (egg), when you have embraced the reality of My Son's sacrifice for you and others. It is at that divine moment that Truth flooded your heart for you to be "born" into My kingdom of love and hope.
The second stage of your development is the stage of faith. This stage of life covers a period of many years as there are numerous life experiences for Me to teach you to trust in Me. There are times of failures on your part, in order for Me to teach you the valuable lesson of trust in Me needs to always be in place. As you carry on in this baby stage of life in Me, you develop a true sense of My care for you and this moves you to the next stage.
Third stage which is adolescent develops in you a perseverance to struggle through faith whatever life brings you. Just as a teenager has many physical and emotional changes, you experience this in a "changing" realm of My pruning in you. Through many experiences, you develop a drive to carry on trusting Me even though many times you can't understand the reason for the trials and heartaches.
Adult stage is the fourth and final stage of development in Me. This stage comes at the completion of your adolescent years and continues onward until I receive you home in My arms. Adult maturity comes with a price and there are numerous hard times in order for Me to be developed within you. I need My character imprinted upon your heart in order for all your behaviours to be godly, holy, and righteous. This pruning happens over a long period of time and that is why it is a life long operation. To be more like Me, a beautiful soaring butterfly, full of life, beauty, and always adapting to its surroundings and situations, takes much life experiences.
Anchor of Hope
In Me you can have a strength that holds you secure through many storms and heartaches. Just as a ship is anchored in a storm, so you can be anchored to be "solid" by anchoring yourself by hoping in Me. Through many ways, I will encourage you and let you know that you are not without hope as long as you do not allow your situations to take hold of you. Always look up to Me and know that I will provide you will the stability needing to see you through all your rough times/tides.
As an anchor needs to be tested to find out if it is strong enough to secure the vessel through rough waters, so I test you (the vessel) to see if your hope (anchor) is strong enough in Me.
If you choose to take the easy way out by giving up in difficult situations, you are "breaking free" from Me and no longer have hope to anchor you in the rough waters. You are therefore left to be tossed to and fro by every current and wind which will lead you off course of what I have planned for your life.
Please, My children don't ever take up your anchor no matter how frustrating and hard your present life may be. Remember this important fact when nothing seems to be transpiring in your life and you are just sitting still, wondering when something will be happening: in a real storm in life, boats and ships are tied up to the dock, or when in open water their anchor is dropped to keep them secure. The vessels do not move until the storm is over and a new "message" is received about smooth sailing. So this is true in the spiritual realm. When My answers to your questions or actions to your prayers are not happening in your present storm, stay anchored in hope until you hear from Me. Don?t proceed to do anything but wait out the storm in HOPE!
