The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Isaiah 61:1-3 (Read all of Isaiah 61)
King James Version
For me the butterfly meant freedom. Freedom from active addiction. Every time there was a major change in my life in recovery, I was given a butterfly in many shapes and sizes or I saw a real one. According to many it means transformation. My AA sponsor told me I was in a cocoon and emerged a beautiful butterfly.
