A Butterfly’s Lesson
”One day, a small
oppening
appeared on a
cocoon; a man
sat and watched
for the 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
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
shrivelled 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 shrivelled
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 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 life.
If God allowed us to
go through our life
without any
obstacles, it would
cripple us. We
would not be as
strong as we could
have been. Never
been able to fly.
I asked for Strength...
And God gave me
difficulties to make me
strong.
Iasked for Wisdom...
And God gave me
Problems to solve.
I asked for
prosperity...
And God gave me a
Brain and Brawn to
work.
I asked for
Courage…..
And God gave
me obstacles to
overcome.
I asked for
Love...
And God gave
me Troubled
people to help.
I asked for Favors...
And God gave me
Opportunities.
“I received nothing I
wanted...
But I received
everything I needed."
Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and evince that you can overcome them.
