Before we get to see the beauty of spotted wings and brilliant colors effortlessly gliding across the skies— it has crawled and trudged through muck and mire, escaped dangers and threats from above and below, and dealt with hurt and pain.
Before it takes flight with ornate wings and seemingly carefree abandon— it has spent a season in a cramped, dark space that likely felt like a tomb, and then had to fight like you know what to break its way out and back into the light.
But if it were not for the darkness, it could never grow wings, and if not for the struggle its wings would have no strength. So, remember the butterfly whenever you feel like you are only able to crawl, when hardship come, when you feel fearful and under attack, when darkness surrounds you or your tears flow like rivers, and you feel like everyday you are having to fight like you know what to make it to the other side of day and the right side of victory.
Remember the butterfly and believe with joy that all things are going to work out for your "wings" (for your good), and put your hope and trust in Jesus Christ your Savior— He knows a thing or two about resurrection and abundant life.
Be hopeful and hope filled— knowing that God's sovereignty applies to any and everything we are facing and His power to transform it will be even more amazing than the metamorphosis of the monarch butterfly
Today, remember the butterfly 🦋 and have a great day!
Grace and peace to you—Cassius
