Caterpillars Can't Fly (ePub)

The Bible is full of allegories and parables, and Caterpillars Can't Fly was written as one more allegory to excite the imagination and inspire young readers to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God by learning more about the creation. The Bible states that the invisible things of God are revealed by the visible world. God has been striving through the centuries to show himself to us in many ways, and this book is intended to be one of those varied ways God reveals Himself.
Life is a journey, different and yet somehow the same for everyone. We start out as self-centered babies with an array of emotions that mothers and fathers love with differing degrees of unconditional love.
As the world trains us to control our emotions and rely more on our minds, our identities change from that of helpless and dependent babies to that of men and women with some form of autonomy and control. But life on this earth is short, and the "control" stage of life inevitably comes to an end as we find ourselves slipping back into a helpless and dependent stage of life, this time usually without the unconditional love of a mother and father.
Isaiah 60:17 states: "For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness." (KJV)
That verse promises that God will replace whatever we lose with something of superior value. God's ultimate plan for us is that we establish a right relationship with Him based on trust in His unfailing love and fortified by a belief that He will reward those who diligently seek Him. Psalms 105:3b states: "Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord." (KJV)
