I have always believed that the metamorphosis of the butterfly is a poetic gift of God to us to show us that when we slough off this clothing of flesh, we will be as magnificently changed as this lovely creature is from its ungainly form as a caterpillar. Thank You Lord.

I believe it's the wonders of nature rather than God at work.
