One day, a small opening appeared on a cocoon(茧); 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 shriveled (枯萎;皱缩;使卷缩)
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 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.
I asked 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.
