Butterfly

BUTTERFLY

The walls of the cocoon were all she knew.  For now….hopelessness, no light, no exit, only existence.  Lying dormant, this was to be her destiny.

God had other plans for Her!

She had been chosen to be one of God’s most beautiful creations.  So many miraculous characteristics yet to be revealed to her.  Someday she would confidently display her magnificence for the world to see.

God knew she must first struggle in her cocoon.  Others would question why she struggled to break free, unable to see what was taking place inside.

So many times God wanted to free her, knowing His creation was in pain.  But He knew that time was necessary for her wings to fully develop.

He knew that to release her from her cocoon early would mean fragility and failure to fly.

God could not afford to have His precious messenger crippled.  She needed her strength; she was about to become a witness of God’s magnificence to others.

God made certain she felt every change, every development of her metamorphosis so that when she emerged from her cocoon, she would be fully aware of her wings.  Only then would she use them to soar.

As the metamorphosis neared completion and the pain ceased, she began to understand the process that had been taking place in these times of darkness.  She harbored no resentment for the time spent in the cocoon.

In complete solitude she slowly emerged, her tender wings began to unfold.  Knowing she might be frightened, God made sure that the warmth of the sun was there to greet her.

The breeze eagerly embraced her in support, lifting her beyond all that she had known.

She glided effortlessly into her future as God looked on with pride.

She was indeed God’s most magnificent creature!
