I caught glimpses of the truth of salvation a few times before I finally grasped unto its beauty. It is a little fearful to think it could have been lost to me.  I praise God He is persistent in His love toward us.

The Butterfly

Like a pretty butterfly flies across the path of your life,
Constantly landing within your sight,
Its beauty is admired; you love its grace you see;
But, unless you follow after it, it slips away from thee.
The words of the Savior, the truth of His love for man,
Is like the butterfly, do you understand?
When you hear the story, you wonder at the beauty and the grace.
But, unless you follow after it, it has been to you a waste.
It is shown to the multitudes and its beauty they behold and admire,
But still they let it fly away: God’s answer to their greatest desires.
They have let the beautiful butterfly disappear.
Pray they learn to follow, and catch its truth within, the next time it is near.

Mark 8:18
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

Proverbs 3:13
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
