Transfiguration/Transformation
Walking along the bank of the canal, in the middle of Spring, one will notice the thousands of wild flowers in full bloom - yellow, white, pink, blue. .... Last week on one such sunny blue-sky day, I made a meditation walk to the park.  Meditating on the Transfiguration of Jesus before his chosen Apostles on Mt. Tabor, it came to me in a flash that the Transfiguration power of Jesus does not only transfigure our stony hearts to hearts of flesh, from darkness to light, the barren land into fertile land .... etc. but the transfiguration is right before my eyes. The whole countryside is awake from the cold winter and now alive with new life - the thousand wildflowers which just sprung from the ground - send forth your spirit and thou shall renew the face of the earth. My heart shouted ' O Lord your presence is all around us... these flowers which you called forth from the earth for us to enjoy, reveal your glory and your presence'!.... Each flower however tiny has a purpose........yes if these flowers also have a purpose what about me/us. I recalled the Scripture... ' Look at the birds in the sky they do not sow or reap...... learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin.....If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today.........will he not much more provide for you?..... (Mat. 6:25 - 34) As I continued my walk and pondering on the Word of God, I felt as tiny as the flowers surrounding me -  God is very mindful of me/us;  therefore I/we need not worry but to totally  trust God, allow Him to transfigure me/us more and more so that His purpose will be realized in us  so as to reveal His glory and presence in the world where He has placed us. What a walk - .......
truly God is present in this place..........!
