Message
Butterflies are always very beautiful and colourful. They jump around with their open wings in excitement and almost everyone loves that scene. But before the beautiful butterfly form; it passes through the stage of an egg to larva to pupa and then the beautiful adult.
In our journey through life, the plan of God is to make us better versions of ourselves as the days go by. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” You may be thinking that the situations around you today does not look like it is going to land you in a better tomorrow, but keep trusting in God, He is working out something great for you. Make sure you play your part by doing the following:- Learning new things daily. – Set your goals and review them often .- Learn from your mistakes and never be afraid to try again. – Think, speak and act positively in line with God’s will at all Times. – Read God’s word daily, recite it to yourself, rely on it and rest on His promises at all times. Surely, your tomorrow will be greater than today!

Dear Lord, I trust in You, make my latter end better than my beginning.
