There's a beautiful little miracle in nature, that of the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. The caterpillar climbs a tree and hangs itself by a silk thread. The creature dies as a caterpillar, as an earthbound creature. Its outside hardens. It becomes like a mummy, a shell, a sort of tomb. The shell is called the 'chrysalis.' It's in this chrysalis that the worm-like creatures dies. It's from this chrysalis, that a new creature, winged and beautiful emerges. How do you change from an earthbound creature, into a heavenly one? The chrysalis is the place where you die to self, flesh, ego, reputation and selfish desires, where you surrender your will for God's, where you let go and let God. It's a place of death to the old self - but really, it's a place of life. For it's from that place of your dying to self, out of that chrysalis, that the beautiful and heavenly being you were meant to be emerges. Find your chrysalis today, that sacred place of dying, so you can live, be beautiful, spread your wings and soar in the heavenlies.

Take a moment to think about what in your life still needs to be surrendered to God. Today, take a step forward and surrender in the new, to become that beautiful person you were created to be.
