A caterpillar is a cute fuzzy little creature. They are nimble and quick. Children are the same way—cute, nimble and quick. Everyone loves them. When a caterpillar begins to grow up its actions change. It goes into a cocoon. That is not as cute. Sometimes when children begin to grow up they do not feel as “cute”. Their actions change. They feel different. They do not get the same reactions as they did when they were younger. They see smaller children getting all the attention they used to enjoy and they get quieter, like they are in a cocoon. Nothing feels the same. The same thing happens with new Christians. Nothing feels as exciting, people do no rush to comfort them when they sin but instead expect them to grow in the word. The ease of moving in the things of the Spirit all of a sudden seems like work. Nothings feels the same. Religious expectations get thrown at you like mud and begins to box you in… When Jesus died on the cross and rose again He gave you a promise of eternal life. All you have to do is just ask him into your heart. The cool thing is he comes into your cocoon with you and begins to break you out of that cocoon. Just like when the caterpillar come out everything is different, what emerges is a beautiful, graceful, colorful, butterfly. Be a butterfly, never let anyone put you into a cocoon with hateful words or mean actions. Be that beautiful butterfly and let Jesus show you all the delights of life.
