Recently, a precious friend of mine purchased a pair of butterfly sandals for me as a gift, before I went on a girl’s beach trip. I was so surprised by her generosity and couldn’t wait to wear them as a token of our beautiful friendship. The beach sunrises and sunsets during our time there were like wet paint that melted into the horizon. One evening as we were taking a barefoot stroll along the shoreline, we noticed a butterfly lying in the sand. It was all crumpled up, however, just in that moment an ocean wave washed over it. Its wings spread out perfectly as if to say, we were meant to see its beauty. Its body was life-less, though it was speaking volumes of life to me through its mysterious presence in the sand, which prompted my remembrance of my sweet little butterfly sandals.
Butterflies have become the symbol of change, a metamorphosis that takes place in stages until a whole new life emerges. Its senses are mostly located in its feet. It gathers information about its environment from the place where it is standing. When we walk barefoot on the ground, which is also known as grounding or earthing, it can help regulate our body’s circadian rhythms and improve sleep and has benefits to our overall health.
There are so many details that can be seen and experienced in God’s creation from a butterfly’s metamorphosis, to the painted beach sunrises and sunsets and walking barefoot to regular our body clocks. Having a balanced rhythm to life, a renewed sense of vitality, and insight are indicators of a new life emerging. You know when true transformation has happened when there is a change in how you walk out your everyday life. You have butterfly feet!!!
Romans 1:20 (NLT): “Forever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. He is speaking through his Creation, and he is waiting for you to listen.”
