Oils, Ashes, Gold Mica Dust, Canvas

We all face discouragement in the waiting periods. It's like we're in chrysalis—the long, constricting transitional stage where the insides and structures of the caterpillar have to disintegrate before they can be remade. But that's the point of the breakdown: the remaking. If we're willing to endure the process, God will not merely restore us to how we were before, but transform us to a new state of being—where we can reach heights we never before dreamed.
