The White Butterfly

This Spring I started my vegetable garden and I'm happy seeing my plants coming from seeds and my kitchen scraps. Everything is going well. I'm happy to watch the seedings sprout and my plants growing fast. The weather is perfect! Love watching insects and bees flying around. 

All of a sudden I notice some of leaves of the plants seems to be bitten crooked. I'm thinking if there is any locusts. None! As I'm busy with other works, I just left untreated for few days. most of the plants have holes on their leaves and half bitten. 

In the meantime, I'm searching online to know what kind of infestation is this. Then all of a sudden, one day I rolled my sleeves, jumped in, to see what's really happening. 

When I sit and see each and every plant, I find green worms sitting underneath the leaves. I have a soap water with me in a small container and I take most of the big and small worms and drown them in the soap water. Yes, I killed them! Almost every worm I saw! Saw some white flies flying from the leaves.  I have to pluck the leaves in some plants. Then I spray a homemade organic insecticide day after day until I see no worms. 

I searched and studied about this once again. And find the reason. Before all this happens, I see a white butterfly, very beautiful one, come to the garden. I'm really excited. You know what? That beautiful butterfly is the sole reason for these larvae and green caterpillar! Then I purchased neem oil from the store and spray it on the plants as I read that it is the natural pesticide for these caterpillars of the White Butterfly.

Scary, right? Why am I talking about my gardening stuffs here? Because the Lord open my eyes to reveal me something how the devil disguises like an angel of light and end up destroying the life. And how the Holy Spirit, like the neem oil helps to cure my plants and our souls. 

The devil is a liar and devourer who roams around to prey upon the souls of humans. The Lord has taught me that whatever happens to us, we have to check that in the spiritual realm. Even for something happening in the physical world, you can find the meaning only in the spiritual world. 

For example, if someone is affected by cancer, a worldly person will see it as disease and search for the reasons in the physical word. But a spiritual person will search it in the spiritual world, as a curse or spirit of infirmity or a reason of attack by the enemy. 

The world has many reasons for your problems, but when you see through your spiritual eyes, you will find the exact answer, the root cause of anything happening to you. It may be a blessing or problem.

 Live in the Spirit! Get to know Our Lord in the Spirit! Worship and serve Him in the Spirit! Nothing passes or goes beyond you when you walk in the Spirit. 

Let the Holy Spirit lives in you, guides you and protects you from the veils of the evil. Jesus is our light in this dark world! God protects you from these kinds of white butterflies!
