From a Cocoon Sack, Not Saks Fifth Avenue

From where does the magnificent butterfly come? From a dark, lonely bleak cocoon, not Saks Fifth Avenue and a five-star spa — that’s where!

Now here’s food for thought and metamorphosis for our faith and hope (or lack of it) to evolve. Do you think God created the butterfly’s transformation by accident or without deep meaning and message? I don’t. Look at our lives. Nothing glorious is ever achieved without our hearts and souls surrendering to the chamber of God’s power, where magnificence can resurrect from whence most saw only defeat, decay and even a tomb of death. Can’t you see a cocoon comparison?

There is another lesson, I believe, God has woven into the creation of His butterflies. Who we are today is not the reality of who we can be tomorrow. However, changing from who we are to who we can be is not found in the open spaces of living in, and of, the world. Change happens by retreating within ourselves and growing into all God seeded inside each of us. It is only by taking time to hibernate from the world that you, me and all God’s children can metamorphose from the rhinestone of worldly glitter into the diamond of heavenly radiance.

I see God in a butterfly. I believe, God longs to see a butterfly in each of us.
