Butterflies

Some people say when you see a butterfly, it represents someone that you know that has passed on beyond this life. Have you ever really thought about the process in which the caterpillar has to go through to become a butterfly? Lately, it’s been something that I think about often. Caterpillars are born creepy crawlers and yet their purpose is to become something beautiful.

We are a lot like butterflies in the sense that we are born for a purpose and a lot of times we don’t know what that purpose is in the beginning. Although the transformation process itself is not painful to the caterpillar, our transformation process as humans can be painful.  We go through hardships and tough situations that can mold us into something better than we ever dreamed. But do you know who does the molding? God does. Hey, I know its probably not something y0u want to hear but like it or not, it’s the truth. **insert emoji shoulder shrug** Y’all the know emoji I’m talking about.

We have two choices during our transformation process. Will we let it bring us down and defeat us or let it cause growth? The caterpillar’s transformation doesn’t happen overnight and neither will ours. We have to have patience during this time. I know I know, patience is a struggle all on its own but I promise if you let growth happen, it will be worth it.

YOU ARE WORTH IT.
