The Butterfly

This morning as I stood by the kitchen window with a heart heavy with despair... It seemed as if hope was gone-my spirit spent-I wasn't even sure if God was there. My unseeing eyes gazed outward while my inward thoughts ran wild... Mentally I was chasing elusive answers and my soul, by doubt was beguiled. Suddenly, my mind came into focus as a movement caught my eye... Outside among my flowers was a beautiful yellow butterfly. I felt God's presence in that moment as I wiped a tear from my eye... " I am with you child", He seemed to say."That's the reason I sent the butterfly". God is so near if we will only let Him be... He sent HIS butterfly and proved the point to me. TK<><

"God is so near if we will only let him be..." Something that I still need to learn. Beautifully written.
