As humans, we have flaws, make mistakes, and have many ups and downs. 
Only God knows the person that we are meant to become, and only He can see us as that person, regardless of what stage of our lives we are currently in. 
The rose in full bloom represents us in our full bloom, and the butterflies represent the beautiful transformation.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
