BUTTERFLY LESSON
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening
appeared, 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 he took a pair of scissors and snipped
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 Creator'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 Creator allowed us
to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not
be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly.
I asked for Strength.........And Creator gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom.........And Creator gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity.........And Creator gave me Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage.........And Creator gave me Danger to overcome.
I asked for Love.........And Creator gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favors.........And Creator gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted, and I received everything I needed.
