Isn’t it refreshing to be around someone full of joy? They uplift your spirit and brighten your day. As Christians, we have joy because of Jesus Christ.

Butterflies. What delicate creatures of beauty that reflect God’s creative brilliance. But they don’t begin as graceful and beautiful creatures. Instead, butterflies start life as ugly caterpillars.

As Christians, we desire to live like Jesus, to reflect Him to those around us. Our lifestyle and behavior are different compared to those in the world. We pray people see Jesus in us.
