From Caterpillar to Butterfly !

"'How does one become a butterfly?' she asked pensively. 'You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.'" --Trina Paulus. Yes ! this is very much true When you apply Christian perspective to this quote. When we dedicate our life to follow Jesus. And, If we want to fly higher in life...We should be willing to give up being a caterpillar. We need to be willing to give up our old self, our old bad habbits which hinder or stop us to fly. Only with Christ we can fly higher in life. Christ demands us to leave our Old self and only then Christ can transform us into 'New Creation'. In 2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Lets all take courage to leave behind being Caterpillar inorder to become a colorful 'Butterfly'. Being caterpillar has no security. All birds like to eat Caterpillars and Worms. When we continue our life with old self or in old nature..there is no security in our Life. We will be easily become prey to Satan who is looking for chance to destroy our life. That's why we need to give up our old life, our old sinful life and ask Christ to transform us into 'New creation'. In Christ alone we have security. When we make a committment to follow Christ. We will fly in our academic pursuits and career. We will fly not only like butterfly but, like an Eagle. So, lets put our Hope or Trust in the Lord. In Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

God bless us all as we make a new committment to follow Christ. We need to 'give up' or 'leave' our sinful lives and Let's rededicate our lives to Christ who gives us courage and strength to fly higher like Eagles and do great things to God. Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".

Amen!
