I saw someone feeding birds a while back.
I then thought about butterflies and how they are one of my favorite creatures of flight.
But I then thought about what it takes for each of these creatures to become a beautiful butterfly.
I thought about how they start off crawling. I thought about how they have to go into a cocoon, and I thought about how vulnerable (fragile) they are while there in this cacoon.
People go by. Other animals and insects. But when you see a butterfly, you know they went through something to become who they were meant to be.
That’s the same for each one of you and each one of us. You don’t just go from crawling to flying and soaring. You first have to make yourself vulnerable to God, life, and experiences because you can become the beautiful person that you were meant to be.
