The Butterfly Song - the story behind the song
At the beginning of this year many of my personal relationships were under strain and I had a difficult time understanding why certain people in my life did not support me in my decision to speak out against abortion and pursue music. I had to seek God for His wisdom and healing because I felt very rejected and misunderstood. And God being the ultimate comforter, comforted me with scripture. Often when I read my Bible I would be gently nudged and told to be BRAVE and BOLD.
One night I had a dream that I was a butterfly with huge glowing wings and I was dancing for the King. And this revelation washed over me like a wave of warm sunshine:
I am His little butterfly.
Created with this sole purpose: To glorify my Creator.
God started speaking me to me through butterflies and every time I saw a butterfly I would be reminded that He is near.
The Bible doesn't actually mention butterflies at all but does tell us to consider the ways of the ant. How hard he works. How he stores his food for the winter. Such a small but wise creature. And one that we can learn so much from...
But lets consider the butterfly for a moment because there is so much that we can learn from this fragile but fierce creature..
The butterfly is delicate and small and can easily be killed and crushed.
Yet the butterfly is fearless.
The butterfly is bold.
The butterfly goes out, follows the wind and trusts her wings to carry her.
The butterfly is transformed into something beautiful and glorious.
The butterfly brings beauty and life where ever she flies.
Consider the butterfly...
As believers we need to be like butterflies. Bold and fearless and paint the sky and make the world beautiful with His message of hope and love. Glorify Him and shine for Him, and do it wholeheartedly and with flare.
We are called to be the light, and be the salt, and change the world and speak the truth. Lets do it fearlessly and boldly.
Lets go out in the world and be like butterflies... let our existence and beauty that we shine from within bring glory to the Creator, and let the joy we radiate bring delight to this dark world we live in.
As believers we are like the butterfly. Once a caterpillar, unable to fly, our salvation renews our spirit and we are transformed into a new and beautiful creation. We are able to fly and be free and dance in the sky. All we have to do is trust... that the wings He bled for us to fly will carry us.
Consider the butterfly...
