The Swallowtail Moth is a common moth everywhere, though I found this one in the stairwell of our condo in Malaysia.
I sketched and colored this in a tiny sketchbook for practice of freehand sketching. I really enjoyed preserving this beautiful image.
Being common doesn’t make it any less beautiful or interesting! What we see as common about ourselves, can be beautiful to others. (Look at the beautiful color gradations.) We may feel we don’t stand out in the crowd, but God sees us as His son or daughter. (This one settled on a tan wall that made it stand out in relief from its background.) We are made to be a blessing. (This moth brought joy to my heart that day and again when I drew it.)
So let’s let our beauty show and please our Creator and those He wants to treat with a visit from us today.
