A beautiful gift from God is the meaning of the name Benita Michelle. The Lord revealed to her family that she should be named when she was born. Although she only used the name Michelle while growing up, she always knew that Benita also was an important part of her name as well. After going through the trials of her young adult life, she then began to use the name Benita and would then describe herself as Michelle, being the lost soul that had to be placed in a cocoon for the Lord to make right and holy and then to be released as Benita, beautiful butterfly. After receiving the Word from the Lord that it was time to write this book, when I asked the Lord what should be the name of this book, He then asked me, "What is your name, and what does it mean?" This book is also a very important message sent by God, and the title A Beautiful Gift from God is exactly what it is. It is meant to show nonbelievers that God really exists and how important it is to give your life to Christ so that God Almighty will be in total control of your life and you shall receive the blessings, peace, grace, and mercy needed to live in this world. Also to show the importance of making sure not to be left behind when Jesus comes back to take all of God's children to heaven to be with the Lord while this earth, as we know it, will be taken over by the devil and eventually destroyed by fire. God loves each and every one of His children, so therefore, He is sending this beautiful gift to you so you may have a clear understanding of what is about to happen and what you need to do about it.

Imagination is a gift from God. Our imagination can either be a blessing in our lives, or it can be a curse. Allowing God into our heart and mind, we learn to receive the promises of God. This book is my journey of how God turned my life around as I turned away from the sin in my life, looking to Jesus Christ, the Author and finisher of our Faith.
