Perhaps God made butterflies to teach us lessons about life and make us more tolerant and less judgmental.

We are all a work in progress and although were not butterflies yet, we can't become butterflies without first being caterpillars. We've got to eat a lot of leaves and do a lot of growing before we blossom into our final state.

Just as you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't judge a caterpillar by its color. The caterpillar might not look like much now, but when God gets done with it, it will become a creature of splendor.

Judging people harshly in their caterpillar stage is a big mistake. They are a work in progress, and what you see is not the finished product.

Right now, a person may not look like much, but when God finishes working his miracle, a new person painted by God's palette of love will emerge in awesome beauty.

Don't be quick to judge yourself in a harsh manner either; you also are a work in progress. Your caterpillar stage might not seem like fun, but God knows what He is doing.

You have to be a caterpillar before you can become a butterfly; there is no other way. God is working behind the scenes, taking care of the details, and things are going to work out.

God has a dream for your life that is better than you can imagine. When you get into agreement with His plan, there's no limit to how good your life can become.
