As humans we were like caterpillars that have to go through the chrysalis stage to turn into butterflies. In Heaven we were 'caterpillars' and only able to crawl around, not fully about to imagine what it would be like to be able to fly. It was a wonderful life with plenty to eat and enjoy, but there was more to our eternal life, we are destined to be butterflies. Many loved being caterpillars and didn't want to have to become a chrysalis, but there was no other way.
We knew that if we were going to be able to turn into a butterfly that we would have to go through the chrysalis stage. Some chose to stay caterpillars and try to destroy the chrysalis's of those that are working to become butterflies. Sadly, some of the caterpillars succeed and make it impossible for some to become butterflies. While others chrysalis's are so strong and thick that the caterpillars can not destroy them.
Sometimes, while we are in this dark chrysalis stage that we call earth life it is hard to remember the end goal. At times it might be easy to let the caterpillars destroy our chrysalis's. But, each choice and movement we make in this phase of our life will help determine if we will be one of the ones that becomes a butterfly.
This life is not easy. There is so much change that we have to go through. Some times we don't understand why we must make the little changes and how they might possibly help us to become butterflies. But every choice matters, the smallest thing could go make it so that we end up dying instead of flying.
There is no way that we can fully grasp how it will be when we become butterflies, but we know that is what we are working towards. We know that it is better then being a caterpillar or being a chrysalis. So, we work on making those small changes, each of them bringing us closer to being a butterfly. And then one day, when we are fully ready, we break free of our chrysalis and as butterflies fly away!
