5 I saw something today That disturbed me. In my yard was a beautiful monarch butterfly, Lying still as could be. 5

6 6

7 I approached it thinking, Why is it so still? Is it injured Is it ill? 7

9 The butterfly had a torn wing, You see. The sight pained, hurt, And saddened me. 9

11 That butterfly will never Ever fly again. All its days of flying are over They all have passed they all have been. 11

12 12

13 I am having Such a day Where I feel the good Has passed away. 13

14 14

15 I m trying oh, I m trying Not to sink in mud. But the weight is so terribly heavy, As I m drowning in this flood. 15

16 16

17 Lord, won t You come to my rescue? I need Your help right now. Lord, please show me the way out And help me with the How. 17

18 18

19 Lord, I want to fly again, But only on Your wings. For You will never ever tire You are God Almighty the King of Kings! 19

25 My Spirit Soars High Above the clouds today. The waves are attempting to push me under, But in Your promises I stay. 25

26 26

27 For I stand secure When I live by Your Word. There is no greater Love than Your Grace Of this I am assured. 27

39 Beautiful trees I see them everywhere. With beautiful leaves, Giving off oxygen to share. 39

41 Green leaves give me hope. They refresh my soul, Making it easier to breathe Reminding me that You are in Control. 41

43 When the leaves change color, Autumn is in the air. Changes are happening, And I know You still care. 43

51 Never Lose Hope For up ahead I see God is waiting to reward Those who Trust Him you and me. 51

53 For when we fear we re dying And we just can t stop crying, God sees us, and He loves us, too. We must never give up trying! 53

54 54

55 And when we cannot see That Light shining up ahead, We must not close our eyes in hopelessness Or give up in fearful dread. 55

56 56

57 For Jesus is our Cornerstone He is our Rock secure. He will be faithful to the End Of this we can be sure. 57

58 58

59 Jesus gave His very life Laying it down in sacrifice To save the lives of you and me That from sin and death we may be free. 59

61 So don t give up today, my friend, For God s promises are true. We owe Jesus everything For He was raised to life for me and you. 61

65 Knowing Jesus and God s Love For Yourself Do you know that God loves you? Did you know that God made you for a special reason? He loves you very much. The Bible says that every good and perfect gift is from above from God, the Heavenly Father (James 1:17). Can you think of some good things in 65

66 your life? Those are some ways that God is showing you that He loves you. God s biggest gift to you is Jesus. God sent His only Son Jesus to earth to live, die a cruel death on a cross, and be raised to life from the dead because He loves you, and He wants you to know Him personally so you can live with Him forever one day. You see, every person does wrong things, which are called sin, and deserves to be punished forever but when we receive Jesus as our Lord, our sin is forgiven, because Jesus died in our place. 66

67 Jesus lived the only perfect life, and that is why He could take our place and suffer the punishment we deserve. Now that Jesus is alive in Heaven with God after being raised from the dead, Jesus offers to cover our wrongdoing and give us the only way to heaven and the only way to come before God and have a relationship with Him. If you want to receive God s love, ask God to forgive you for your sins, and turn from the wrong you have done. 67

68 Believe in your heart that Jesus is God s Son and that God raised Him from the dead, and acknowledge Him as Lord of your life both in your heart and before others. Be baptized in obedience to God s Word. By answering God s call to believe in and love Jesus, you will become God s child, God will become your Heavenly Father, and you will be saved from God s eternal punishment in hell. God s love will now be yours to live in and share with others. 68

69 As God s child, you will have His Holy Spirit living inside of you, and He will fill you with lots of love to share with others. You will have a Heavenly Father to call upon whenever you need help to love a difficult person or whenever you need help with anything at all big or small. God is Love. Is He drawing you to Himself? Come to Him, for He made you, He knows you better than anyone else, and He loves you more than anyone else. He knows everything you have 69

70 ever done wrong, and He still loves you more than anyone else ever could. He wants you to know His deep, deep love for you. Those who come to God are called by Him (John 6:44; Acts 2:39). Come to Him, so that you can know His Love and so that you can live your life with Someone who will never leave you. Once you are His child, He has promised to be with you always, so there will never be a reason for you to fear. (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5) 70

71 Come place your trust in Jesus, and know that He is always near. 71

73 Writes what God puts on her heart for the purpose of producing materials that build up and strengthen families in Jesus Christ. Her desire in doing this is to bring glory to God her Maker and Heavenly Father. Family is very special to God, the Heavenly Father of all believers in Christ Jesus. Every family on earth derives its name from Him. (Ephesians 3:14). May God bless you with His grace, peace, and love as you believe and trust in Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus Name, Amen. 73
