One day, a small opening appeared in a cocoon; a man sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.
Then, it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly; he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a withered body, it was tiny and had shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would 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 wings. 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 nature'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 life.
If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. We would never have been able to fly.
I asked God for Strength...
and I was given difficulties to make me strong.
I asked God for Wisdom...
and I was given problems to solve.
I asked God for prosperity...
and I was given a brain and brawn to work.
I asked God for Courage…..
and I was given obstacles to overcome.
I asked God for Love...
and I was given troubled people to help.
I asked God for Favors...
And I was given Opportunities.
"Sometimes you don't receive exactly what you want ...
... But you receive exactly what you NEED"
Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and know that you can overcome them through Him who IS ABLE!
