I like butterflies. They are wonderful creatures. They are fashioned by different colors. What amazes me with their morphological make-up is the metamorphosis that occurs prior to becoming a butterfly. The different stages are going through excruciating change from being an egg and a caterpillar (larval stage) who crawls patiently to move from one place to the other, to pupa (chrysalis stage) who painstakingly shed its skin before passing to a butterfly (adult stage). Then whoallah!
Beautiful, isn’t it? Our spiritual life is like that too. We in some sense go through a spiritual morphosis. This was best explained in the best-selling book of Rick Warren, Purpose Driven Life. But regardless how difficult the process of our change (from old to new creation to the final transform
ation) we have to press on and never give up. We have to focus on the eternal glory. We have to cling on the object of our faith and never get discouraged with the roughness of our journey. Because before we get there, just like the butterfly, we too will experience the pain-racking change. By this adversity, we will be molded into the beautiful person we should become (the way God designed it).
