A
man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared and
he 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 go no further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly by taking a pair of scissors and
snipping off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily,
but it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued
to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings
would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract
in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its
life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It
never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness
and haste 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. We could never 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 Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage.........And God gave me Danger 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, and I received everything I needed.
