I am a firm believer that animals (even insects!) can often serve as divine messengers - just like people can! I couldn't even begin to count the number of experiences I've had that closely resemble yours with the butterfly. Sometimes it's birds, sometimes a chipmunk, sometimes a snake (eek!) but I value all of them so much because they always teach me something profound and beautiful.

However, if you are open and aware, you're bound to see some signs around you. For instance, when I was waiting for a sign to move to Ohio (from Michigan), I suddenly began to see UHaul trucks passing by me every time I went for a drive! Had I not been "aware," I might not have seen that or at the very least, I might have chalked it off to "coincidence." That’s right. Sometimes you see the confirmation, sometimes you don’t.

Sometimes we get it, sometimes we don't. Jesus offers this bit of counsel to those of us who seldom get tangible evidence that God is at work in our lives: "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe" (John 20:29).
