Everyone wants wings. Very few people want the cocoon.
Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” The Greek word translated “transformed” is metamorphoō, from which we get the English word metamorphosis.
God compared transformation to metamorphosis.
An egg does not look slightly different when it becomes a butterfly. The difference is dramatic. That is how different your life should become after God renews your mind.
Many believers refuse this process.
The moment they receive Christ, they want a microphone. They want visibility. They want ministry. They want influence. But where was the hidden season?
Where was the time of silence? Where was the period when God was changing you?
The caterpillar does not become a butterfly in public. It enters a cocoon. It disappears.
Jesus came to save the world, yet He remained hidden for thirty years. (Luke 2:40, 52; Luke 3:23)
Paul preached briefly after his conversion, then disappeared for years before God publicly released him. (Acts 9:19–30; Galatians 1:15–18; Galatians 2:1)
God hides His servants before He reveals them. Many people destroy the process because they cannot endure being unseen.
They think every opportunity must be accepted. Every platform must be taken. Every gift must immediately become a ministry. Then they wonder why they collapse.
The hidden years are where God teaches you to quiet your soul. He teaches patience. He teaches obedience. He teaches dependence.
If God hides you, do not fight the hiding place. Stay there until He brings you out.
