Butterfly.

O Lord,

I was nothing but a caterpillar before I knew you. 

I was ugly and slow.

How defenseless I was!

I was a pest. An annoyance. 

I damaged Your creation. 

My vision was clouded.

I could not see well at all.

However, when You found me, Lord,

You had every intention to change me. 

You spun a cocoon for me and I was no longer distracted. 

Because of Your love for me, You took away everything.

Yes, to avoid distractions, you spun me a cocoon.

You wished to sanctify me from the very beginning.

How great is metamorphosis! 

To become a new creature!

Look at the butterfly!

How elegant and beautiful. 

How pleasing to the eye.

I thank You for Your sanctification.
