A BUTTERFLY'S LESSON

 

Butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then, it seems to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could not go any further. So the man decided to help the butterfly; he took a pair of scissors and open the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shriveled wings.

The man

continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wind will open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly's body and become firm. Neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shriveled. It never was able to fly. 

What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allow us to go through our life without any obstacles, it will cripple us. We could not be as strong as we have been. Never being able to fly.

I asked for strength and God gave me difficulty to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom and God gave me problem to solve

I asked for prosperity and God gave me a brain and brown to work

I asked for courage..................... and God gave me obstacle to overcome.

I asked for love..........................and God gave me troubled people to help

I asked for Favours.......................... and God me opportunities.

"I received nothing I wanted but I received everything I needed."

Finally, live life without fair, confront all obstacle and know that you can overcome them.
