The Butterfly's Child
Imagine a caterpillar that spends its life trying to be the prettiest most popular caterpillar around, or trying to be the most successful by gaining money and caterpillar riches? The point of the caterpillar's existence isn't to become beautiful, popular or successful as a caterpillar. It's to die as a caterpillar and be born as a butterfly. So with us. You're not on this planet to look the prettiest, become the most popular, successful or wealthy. This whole life is a caterpillar life. You're here to exchange it for a butterfly's life; to die to the old life, so that you can live the greater life. That means letting go of this caterpillar life, dying to self, the flesh, to ego, dying to the caterpillar life, giving instead of taking, letting go, decreasing. Don't lose sight of why you're here. This is what it's all about. Don't get caught up in caterpillar stuff. Look beyond, press beyond, let go of that caterpillar life. Enter the realm of the butterfly so that you can become that beautiful, heavenly creature that God calls you to become in Messiah.

Today's Mission
Ask the Lord to show you an area of your life that you need to die to. Let Him transform you.

Colossians 3:2
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
He Is Your Life
So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND WEEKEND!
