Metamorphosis

[paidforinfull]

Good morning Mr. Caterpillar, how do you do?
Might you perchance be interested in a brand new you?
No thank you friend, I do believe that I'm just fine this way,
for someone complemented me only yesterday.
Sparrow told me that I am delectable and fat,
and I doubt that your proposal's able to beat that.

Quite right you are, Sir, it is true:
big and beautiful are you,
but you are also unprotected
and now it seems you've been selected
as Sparrow's meal this very eve.
Can you the danger here perceive?

Yes friend, I can see I'm wrong,
but I have been a worm so long;
I've grown quite comfortable this way,
and this old body's made of clay.
How then can I be made brand new -
could you perhaps give me a clue?

You have to die 'fore you can live,
for death always precedes rebirth.
Trust your Creator and let go;
have faith in Him and you will grow.
Great change in you will now be wrought;
for this you have been dearly bought.

Oh little worm, behold! Behold!
It happened just as you've been told:
a brand new creature you've become
since you accepted Christ, God's Son.
The worm's become a butterfly;
free to fly in His blue sky.

Hello, I want to respond to a post you made in CA but I am not allowed to in that forum and I can't seem to PM you.

You mentioned seeing Heaven in an 'open eyed vision' and I am curious as to what you mean by that?

Hi Gulah - I am new here, so no-one can PM me. I wrote a poem about the vision I had, and posted it here so you can read it. It happened exactly as described in my poem. God bless.

Oh yeah, I like the poem, but I'm not still following, what do you mean? You said you had a glimpse of heaven in a vision...please explain.

Thanks!

Hi again - shouldn't we be discussing this in another thread more suitable to the topic?
For clarity's sake: my eyes were wide open, I was wide away and fully conscious of what was going on around me, then all of a sudden I could see (very very clearly) into the spiritual realm, and I saw a mountain in heaven. I could actually look at this vision for quite a while.

(I think we should ask the moderators if there is another place we can discuss this topic further if you have any more questions, but I honestly can't add to what I have already said.) God bless.
