As
I was painting these butterflies I was wanting to depict their beauty
and at the same time their delicate frailty. Butterflies are here today
and gone tomorrow because their life cycle is very short.
As I thought about this I was reminded of how much we do not want to face our own fragility as we get older. We don't want to face the fact that the beauty of our youth is gradually being replaced by the wisdom of our years... Our life cycle is short too when you put it into perspective with eternity, isn't it?
But the fleeting moments of our lives cannot be extinguished like the butterfly's, because His resurrection life lives in us. One day when Jesus returns we will be transformed and we will soar again... like beautiful butterflies. ♥
