Where do we turn?
It can be hard to know where to turn today. We are being fed all kinds of things from so many different sources.
Truth can start to become a bit foggy and things that used to be so black and white are turning grey.
It’s typically easier to go along with the crowd. To go with the flow and blend in. But when did the flow become so negative and evil?
It happened so slow and yet so fast.
But we, as Christians, are not called to go with the flow.
We are supposed to stand out.
To be different.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2
Turn to the Bible
When things are looking a bit grey, how cool is it that we have something at our fingertips that can make everything clear again?
Our Bibles hold the truth. We can look to them and seek out what God is saying about most any circumstance we find ourselves in today.
We can draw near to God and let Him guide us and transform us through His Word.
Be transformed
To be transformed is to make a thorough or dramatic change in the form, appearance, or character of.
We want to allow our minds to be thoroughly transformed by Scripture and not by the world.
Let’s look to the only source that really matters, the Bible, and discern what is the will of God. Let’s ask Him to show us truth and make things black and white again.

The shadow is what really makes this butterfly appear to be ready to fly right off the page. I simply searched on Pinterest for 3D butterflies and looked at the photos found there. You could also google images of 3D butterfly drawings.

I made you an easy to trace or print butterfly so that you can put it in your Bible too!
First, I started by painting another butterfly on white paper and photographing it.
Then, I copy and pasted it and changed the colors to create a pdf of multiply butterflies in different sizes, colors, and orientation. I also wrote “be transformed” in a fancy font.
Now, all you have to do is download the pdf.
Print it on clear sticker paper. I found mine on Amazon here.
Cut them out. (Don’t forget about the shadow….don’t cut that off!)
And stick them in your Bible. Tada!! A beautiful, hand painted butterfly instantly on your page!
You’re welcome!
