Reflection Friday 🪞

Helloooooo. It’s reflection Friday! It’s the end of yet another week and APPARENTLY it’s a big weekend. I don’t know what’s happening. I don’t know what they are doing this weekend but they say it’s big. They are saying red whatever, rose whatever, lovers whatever. I don’t know the full gist yet but that’s their plan. They wan give us headache but there’s grandpa and panado in store so we will be hokay! Today’s one will be short cos some of you can’t even read anything else but love letters right now! Kai! See your liiiiiiiiife?

I want to tell you something you didn’t ask me, my name means butterfly.

Anyways, in the image above we see a caterpillar looking at itself in a mirror. I don’t know if caterpillars actually use mirrors, but let’s believe the photo, LOL. As it looks, it doesn’t see the green, awkward worm that it appears to be. Instead, it sees something beautiful. It sees a bright yellow butterfly, big, healthy, and adorned with the most beautiful patterns.

What the caterpillar is seeing is not its present form on the outside, but its true nature on the inside. That’s what many of us fail to recognize about ourselves. All week, you’ve second-guessed yourself and called yourself the worst names under the guise of “being honest with yourself,” but that kind of honesty, when not guided by wisdom, does more harm than good

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

One of the worst things you can do to yourself, apart from rejecting Jesus and making poor decisions, is to program your mind negatively. You begin to see yourself as the ugliest person in the room. You silently compare yourself to others. You hold conversations with yourself that always end in sadness and self-pity. You dwell on thoughts that drain your joy, not realising that this way of thinking has become a habit. If you don’t change how you see yourself, you will never become any better.

I didn’t come to talk too much today. I came to ask you one question, when you look in the mirror, do you see the butterfly or the worm? What do you see? Gideon, what do you see? A mighty man of valour, or the least in your family? And are you planning to occupy in 2026 with that mindset, always needing people to compliment you just to feel alive? What if they don’t? What if nobody ever tells you that you’re beautiful? Do you think butterflies are told they are beautiful? Yet they are.

You must learn to see the beauty in yourself before others do. See the uniqueness. See the sign and the wonder that you are. If you don’t, you will be abused by people who actually see it, by people who know what you carry. The Israelites thought of onions, but Pharaoh saw something different. He saw builders, people who could work while he rested and drank coffee.

Do you think small-mindedness is humility?

Do you think negative thinking will attract mercy or pity from people? Do you think looking down on yourself will produce good results? Think again. Think McCain. I love you. See you on Monday AND PLEASE, do not break God’s heart by doing anything useless this weekend outside the confines of scripture. Don’t be like Esau.

If you read my blogs but have never met this  Wonderful Jesus that I’m always writing about,  you’d love to get to know Him, Or you know The Lord but have found yourself drifting far from Him, I would love to talk with you. Please send me an email  on yieldedcwcenter@gmail.com or simply comment, and I will reach out to you.
