In the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, Jesus points out the humility of the tax collector and said “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” – Luke 18:14

Brought out in “The Butterfly Effect” is the idea that some slight distress can have larger positive effects in the future. Think about how every achievement had backing from others either a teacher, a parent, or mentor that influenced the person toward the attainment.

Like the butterfly that changes from a caterpillar, we are changed when we do as the song “I Surrender All by Lifebreakthrough” says. We are approved by God. At that point in life, there is joy and a sense of purpose forever. We don’t have to follow those that lead us down the wrong path.
