Once there was a man who asked God for

a flower....

....and a butterfly.
But instead God gave him
a cactus....
....and a caterpillar.
The man was sad, he didn’t understand
why his request was mistaken.
Then he thought:
Oh well, God has too many
people to care for...
And decided not to
question.
After some time, the man went to check up
on his request that he had left forgotten.
To his surprise, from the thorny & ugly
cactus a beautiful flower had grown.

And the unsightly carterpillar had been
transformed into the most beautiful butterfly.
GOD always does things right!
His way is ALWAYS the best way,
even if to us it seems all wrong.
If you asked God for one thing & received another,
TRUST.
You can be sure that He will always give you
what you need at the appropriate time.
What you want...
....is not always what you need!
God never fails to grant our petitions, so keep on
going for Him without doubting or murmuring.

Today’s THORN...
Is tomorrow’s
FLOWER!
GOD GIVES THE VERY BEST TO THOSE
WHO LEAVE THE CHOICES UP TO HIM!

GOD BLESS YOU!
GOD GIVES THE VERY BEST TO THOSE
WHO LEAVE THE CHOICES UP TO HIM!

GOD BLESS YOU!
