The Ugly Ducklings Are Really Beautiful Swans
I heard, “The ugly ducklings are really Beautiful Swans.”
Hans Christian Andersen wrote a beautiful tale about the ugly duckling who actually was a beautiful baby swan.
I am related to him on my father’s side. My great grandmother was an Andersen from Denmark. 😃 So I was delighted to hear this in my spirit today.
“Beloved. The world calls you an ugly duckling. You do not fit into their mold. You do not conform to their ways. The spirit in them cannot bear to be around the Spirit in you.
Know this, My Child. You are not an ugly duckling but you are a Beautiful Swan in Me. This is your true identity. You are a New Creation in Christ.
The world cannot see with eyes of Grace. Spiritual things are only understood spiritually.
Grace says, You are altogether beautiful, My Love; there is no flaw in you. The Blood of Jesus has made you as white as snow. You are full of Grace and Glory. As I AM, so are you in this world.
Flow with Me on the Peaceful Waters of the Spirit.
Worry not about those who criticize you and insult you and persecute you. I shall recompense you and I shall reveal who you are.
You are above and not beneath. From My Fullness you have received Grace upon Grace. Those who look to Me are Radiant, and your face shall never be ashamed.
You are being transformed from glory to ever intensifying glory. You are My Masterpiece. Arise, My Darling, My Beautiful One, come away with Me.”
SWAN IN THE BIBLE : Mentioned only in old versions and the Revised Version margin in Leviticus 11:18: “the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,” and in Deuteronomy 14:16 Septuagint porphurion = “water-hen”; Vulgate (Jerome’s Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) ibis). In the Revised Version (British and American) this is rightly changed to “the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture.” The swan is a bird of the duck family wrongly placed among the abominations in old versions of the Bible, now changed to horned owl. White swans spend their winter migratory season on the waters of the Holy Land. They are among the most ancient birds of history.
INTERESTING FACT : Cygnus – the Latin word for “SWAN” – is a brightly visible constellation also known as the northern CROSS.

BEAUTIFUL WORD!!! I receive this. Thank you Lord!!!
I’m so glad the Lord led me to your post today Deborah.
Daily I’m criticized and persecuted.
I used to be entangled in the snare of vanity, comparison, competition and the like. So much so that it kept me in bondage to a very serious drug addiction. I’ve thrown it all away, and the price has been more painful than I can express here. The persecution is night and day, people I don’t even know….thanks to the internet and our wonderful cell phone technology this kind of cruelty is viral.
God is so good to give those of us suffering in this way encouragement and comfort. This is the true reason for the Prophetic, I’m much edified and extremely blessed….I can’t thank Him enough, and you as well Deborah.
God bless your beautiful heart!!
Yes Amen and AMEN
HALLELUYAH
