Transformers

A caterpillar and a butterfly are essentially the same creature, but with a different appearance to withstand a different season. The creature covers itself in a cocoon, and after a period of 10 days to several months, the butterfly emerges. In Romans 12:2, Paul urges his readers "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." As Christians, it is critical for us to burrow ourselves into the cocoon of God's spirit to be transformed into the powerful creation the He intended us to be.
