The butterfly... God is Good

I think I figured out the other day why I am in such awe about butterflies.  Take this caterpillar here.  This is a black swallowtail caterpillar.  He is black and white striped with orange spots and what looks like spikes on him.  He is made this way by our creator.  There are MANY different caterpillars... I would like to identify myself with a caterpillar.  I am made differently by my creator.  Here comes the fun part.  When I give my life to him, I feed on his word, and once saved, I was transformed.  My old life (as a caterpillar) is dead, and my new life begins.  I liken this transformation of salvation to the caterpillar that spins his cacoon.  God reveals his power, his love, his beauty, his amazing power when the cacoon is broken (which I liken to being set free from the shackles of sin).  NOW we are a new creature in Christ... he has made us a reflection of him... we are now beautiful.  This black swallowtail caterpillar is now transformed into a black swallowtail butterfly.  Our God is an Awesome God.  He has the ability to turn us from a hungry, sometimes ugly, caterpillar into a beautiful creation that expresses his power.  Anyhow, I just wanted to share with you why I love butterflies so much.  I pray you find the blessing in this.
