Its a few days early, but I got a birthday card in the mail today. It was from an aunt and uncle I love very much. And on that card, homemade with love, and lovely, is a quote that I think is fabulous! Another JEWEL of a quote…
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly. ~Richard Bach
Think about that! It’s a perspective thing…
We don’t always know or understand the transformation God is bringing
into our lives, or into our beings, and sometimes we think it’s all over
when it isn’t. God has your back when you have His love in your heart
and you trust Him. He will never forsake you or forget you’re here on
planet earth. We are called to rise, to soar, to come from the cocoon a
beautiful butterfly, and like the butterfly, our time here is short.
Like the butterfly, we are beautiful and unique. Like the butterfly is
provided for by God, so are we. And like the butterfly, we have a
purpose. We are called into being by God, our Heavenly Father, a Father
Who knows us before we are born or even conceived. We are called to this
life… what we choose to do with the time He calls us to flit around
down here is up to us. It is our decision to make.
We are to be like a butterfly… but we are first as a caterpillar.
Faith in Him transforms us. HE transforms us into His image, into the
image of Jesus Christ, when we allow Him to. Just as a butterfly cannot
be helped along in its fight out of the cocoon or it will not survive,
God doesn’t force us into faith, into trials we can’t handle but He
calls us to fight to live. To live in Him. To become TRULY ALIVE. To fly
and share our beauty and minister where He calls us.
We
are butterflies of the Master of the Universe. We are His people. His
loved ones. His children. We are called into flight, to soar, to flit,
to go where we are called.
Some butterflies travel
miles, while others remain in a small area. Like these creatures of
beauty, people are sometimes called to stay in one general area or to
flit around the world as they bless and minister to others and fulfill
their callings.
Be God’s butterfly, my friend! Be beautiful. God called you to it, and He will bring you through it all… masterfully.
